So silly me to think my Vista laptop would mesh with my XP desktop..in trying (for several hours) to get my laptop to print to a shared printer connected to my XP desktop, all I could get was "Access Denied - can connect to printer". So after looking in Windows and MS help (no value) I went out on the internet in search of a solution, and finally found one - and oh by the way, a really simple one, that anyone who tried to apply logic would never come up with. Anyway, if you have a vista computer and can't connect to a networked printer, here is the hint:
Add it as a local printer, but select "new port" and type in the path of the printer. Bingo. Nothing else will work (believe me, I tried)
