1282866 2012-06-20 05:38:00 uninstalled the driver/software and reninstalled it, but it still shows as offline GameJunkie (72)
1282867 2012-06-20 05:49:00 Did you reinstall just using the disc or did you download the latest version of the installation files? smurf (6545)

1282869 2012-06-20 06:45:00 Have you tried sharing the printer to the network via the Vista machine which you say is connected by USB to the printer, does the Vista machine print ok using the printer, if so go to Printers/Properties/Sharing Tab and tick the box for sharing with other machines on the network. zqwerty (97)

1282871 2012-06-22 08:23:00 went into those settings and it is set to share but still no luck

ive reset the network setting on the printer to default then started again but nothing

1282872 2012-06-22 08:55:00 cannot share while it is connected to a computer. that's strange.
you right click printer and share right.

on the other computer, do you have to browse network and double click onto the pinter computer to login first? depending on your security you may need to do that and at times save password sometime may not work for some reason.

could the printer computer see it via network by browsing thru itself?
