    hi guys.
    i have a problem about printer sharing. i set up a wireless network between my vista notebook and xp desktop and the file sharing works fine. however, i cannot connect to my printer. whenever im connecting to the printer, it's saying that access is denied. my printer btw is lexmark 1200 series.

    You have to tell the printer that it is shared just like sharing a folder. Your almost there since you have file sharing working.
