I have an XP desktop that is connected to a printer. I am really only using the desktop as a print server. I have a laptop with dual boot Ubuntu and Vista. Everything is connected wireless and I have my laptop printer driver set to print to a local port //x/y.
Here is the problem.
I can start Ubuntu and print no problem. I start Vista and I can see the printer under networking, but under printer services it shows the printer is not ready. I can refresh all day and nothing happens. I have to go in and delete the printer off of printer services and then reinstall the driver every time. After I do this it works no problem.
It is very annoying and I would not even fool with booting Vista; however, I have a report I have to print everyday that comes off a webserver that has to be logged in by IE.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
