Post subject: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied. Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>print_fax_scan (more info?)
I'm trying, desparately, to print from my Vista Home Premium laptop to a
shared printer on my home wireless network. The shared printer is connected
to an XP Home machine. That machine is hard-wired (via a LAN cable) to the
wireless router. I can "see" the printer I want to use but when trying to
connect to it, I get the error message "Windows cannot connect to the
printer. Access is denied." I'd be grateful for any help.

Can you open the remote machine and open the remote printers folder? Is the
shared printer listed?
(you may need to add the Run verb to the Start menu) Start, Run,
\\XPMACHINE
from a command line what is the result when you request the directory
contents on the XP machines print$ share?

Yes, Alan, I can open the remote machine and the remote printers folder. The
shared printer is listed.
From a command line, when I request the contents of the directory on the XP
machine's print$ share, I get the sentence "Access is denied." Thanks for
your interest.

The client machine must have read access to the XP share in order to obtain
the driver files for the printer. This is why you are getting the access
denied error, Because the XP machine is denying access to the Vista
machine. You will need to reconfigure the XP machine to allow this.

The XP machine is configured to allow access to the Vista machine. I can
access shared files on the XP machine from the Vista machine. I have loaded
driver files onto the Vista machine but that did not improve the situation.
Thanks for you input, though.

You do not have access to print$. You will not be able to get the driver
files from the XP machine until that is resolved.

Precisely--which brings us full circle. At this point, I do not believe that
the problem lies with the configuration of the XP machine. I believe it to
be a flaw within Vista and I'm simply trying to find a workaround.
