I have three computers I my Office connected with the small network. Earlier two of them were running on XP and one on XP Media Center. I have two printers installed on the network and all three PCs were able to access it comfortably. Now I have upgraded my XP Media Center to Windows Vista. And since then started problem with printers. I have all systems on the same Network and Workgroup but still Vista is not able to access the any of the network printer.
As per troubleshooting I set them all on static IPs connected to a Linksys WRT54G Router. My laptop is connected via an Intel 2200 Wi-Fi Adapter. All three computers have the same User name and same password. But still when I try to add printers on Vista using Add Printer Wizard, it is able to see the printers but when try to add them; it ends up with an error message saying “Access Denied.” I tried out several other methods like browsing to the computer and right click on the shared printers and chose connect. Still Access Denied.
Now I have nothing left to try. Hope somebody here can tell me where is the problem and how can I make my Vista access the printers. Thanks for all your helps.
