OT: Vista and my printer



Not to highjack Cathy's thread, but I'm having similar issues.

If anyone remembers, I recently got my wife's new laptop (Vista) to
work with our printer (connected to my machine) over the wireless lan.
 Now it doesn't and I've tried reinstalling and I keep getting error
0x0000006 which ain't telling ME much.

Pls reply directly (off list) so as to kill the threadjacking (unless
the knowledge benefits everyone)
