Printer spooling

    Hi I have just setup a network in a shop for a person. The main pc is a windows vista machine and the other two are win xp home edition. I have printer sharing setup on all machines.

    The problem I am having is that the vista machine will print fine (printer connected directly to this) and when I try to print from the win xp machines I can not get them to print to the vista machine at all.

    The vista machine has printer sharing setup on it and the printer is shared from this also.

    Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
