Can't print through local network to printer attached to XP computer.
Hi,
my computer is running Windows 7 Professional.
I have added and installed a shared printer to this computer. The printer is connected to an other computer that is running Windows XP, and the printer is shared.
Everything seems ok. The installation completed without difficulties.
When I am trying to print a test-page, the document shows up in the printer queue for about 30 seconds, saying that the document is being sent to the printer, then it disappears.
Still after 10 minutes nothing has been printed. Nothing happens.
I was almost certain that the problem was the firewall, but I turned off the firewall on both computers and it still doesn't work.
Last year I tried this out with two computers both running XP, and it worked out perfectly.
Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
