Vista is CRAP... pure and simple. I tested it in alpha and beta, and when
that was done, all of my computers went back to XP.

In my office, we have 7 computers on a peer to peer network... all running
XP except one that was replaced recently, and came with Vista on it. That
vista computer is CONSTANTLY having problems accessing shares on the
network, such as a printer at another workstation. If you print during one
of these episodes, the thing runs like an old 286 for about 5 minutes until
it finally gives up, displaying an error message. Rebooting usually cures it
for a time. That system will get XP when I have some time to do it.

Sounds like you're the problem. I have no problems running any of the
printers here on my local VISTA network, which includes machines running
VISTA, XP and even Win2k. My wife's office is on the third floor, where
she runs XP and has a Brother laser printer. I can easily print on that
printer from my office, two floors away, and she can easily print on my
HP color laser printer.

There's always Network Magic if you can't figure out simple Windows
networking.
