    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP desktop PC hooked up to an HP Laserjet 1200 printer.
    I have selected to share this printer on my desktop.
    My laptop is a Dell XPS M1330 with Vista.
    When I tell it to add a printer, I select "add a network printer".
    It then searches and locates my HP Laserjet.
    When I click the next button it briefly displays "connecting to printer", but then almost immediately I get this message...... "windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied".
    Any ideas?
