I have a HP 1510 installed on my computer with Windows 7 and its shared but when a try to access it from my other PC (Windows XP) it says "Access denied".
I already tried to share my C too but i can't access it from the other one.

Help?

You either need to set up passwords on the Win7 host machine, or turn off password protected sharing.

(That's in the Network and Sharing Center, Advanced Sharing Settings.)

Better yet, switch all your machines to Win7, and have them all join the same Homegroup. ;-)

I turned off the password protectted sharing but its still asking me for the password, there isn't other way than creating a new user/password?

I should have said that turning off pasword protected file sharing will serve for the printers, but I never tried file sharing between Win7 and an older OS.
