    Re: vista printer sharing

    i dont directly know how to fix your problem, but i know that windows file and printer sharing is a nightmare even between two windows xp computers...

    you would have much more luck with either a network printer or setting up a linux printer server. although then you may have problems with compatibility with epson printers and linux...
