how to printer share between windows XP, vista and 7.

this is a video showing you how to printer share between windows 7 and windows XP.
please note that in the video a said that there are no other videos on this but since filming this video I think one has popped up, but I dont think it shows how to printer share with 7 and XP, just 7.
Also note that this also applies to windows vista as well its the same as XP so just follow the XP guide for people running vista, I would have shown you how to do it in vista but I dont have vista installed on any machine in my house any more.

Also the error message you get in windows XP, the one I said was really common, only happens on some computer. It really depends on your hardware and network set up ex. (also the . That I put after computer name doesnt make a difference I tried without and still got the same error), its far easier just to browse for it.

Just in case youre interested, saves leaving a comment Ill tell you now, the version of XP Im using is XP 64 bit edition, and the version of windows 7 Im using is windows 7 ultimate, (yeah I know ££££ but its good, and touch wood iv had no problems yet, unlike vista after only 4 hours I was sick of seeing blue).

I hope you enjoyed the and thank you for watching.

I get an error messsage"windows cannot connect to this printer, access is denied". I might add, I am the network administrator. Can you help?

@summerproject92 Hi there, ah.. a couple of thing you can try.

1st make sure you have an administrator account and a password set up for both machines.

Another thing is disable the user account control (if windows 7) do the processes again and than re enable it after you have done.

That normally works for me.

Sometimes it could be your anti-virus software blocking network access, you may have to disable your anti-virus temporarily, and re enable it when your done.

Hope this helped.

Nice one ; )

Thanks a million for this video, I want to connect my child's xp laptop to my windows 7 desktop printer.

The problem is I have to conenct him to my wireless internet in order to complete the printer driver part of your video. HOW DO I DO THIS? How do I get my windows 7 wireless internet to get picked up by his xp laptop?
