    Shared Win7 Printer-no connect from VistaPrem if no psw


    Desktop has windows 7 7100 (64 bit)
    Laptop has Vista Premium (32 Bit)
    Desktop has USB wired HP j6480 all in one printer shared
    Cannot connect to printer from laptop unless Windows 7 has login password enabled.

    Any ideas on how to share this printer when windows 7 has no password

    Yes, I agree, and this infact works, but is there any way to do this without a psw on the Windows 7 PC?

    Enable autologon and when you start it you don't need to type the password!

    Here’s how:

    -Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to launch the “Run” dialog box.
    -Type in control "userpasswords2"
    -Press Enter. The User Accounts window will display.
    -Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
    -Click “OK”
    -You will then be prompted to enter the current password and confirm it.
    After doing so, you will no longer be prompted to enter your password upon login.
