| 720057 | 2008-11-14 09:11:00 | Is the doc getting to the Vista print spooler? Double click the printer icon which will display the print queue. Print something. Does the print file appear in the spool window? | linw (53) | ||

| 720060 | 2008-11-14 22:57:00 | I've found out it's not the XP machine, as the same thing happens when the printer is directly attached to the tablet. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 720061 | 2008-11-15 00:00:00 | Try this it works most of the time - my own Vista PC's wont even print to the XP pro that has a HP Officejet V40 unless its setup like the following - once set it prints from Vista to Xp in a matter of seconds. First go to the XP Computer that has the printer, make sure you know the exact name the printer and PC are called, and have the Drivers ready for the printer on Vista. Then on the Vista PC TRICK it to think the printer is on the Vista PC --- Go the the configuration screen on your Vista computer; printers; add a new printer and then: 1. chose: ''add a local printer; 2. chose: 'new port' 3. chose 'localport' 4. type path to the networkprinter e.g. : \\YourXPcomputerName\YourPrinterName 5. print to this printer If its configured right it will ask for the drivers, install and it should print. Example of My network Address - Step 4 ( name changed of course) \\wainuitech\HP V40 |
