Shared Vista Printer - cannot print from mac..

[lieb39]

Hello everyone,

I've run flat out of idaes - it's 2AM and i've been working on this for a good three hours. I updated my Media Centre to Vista - and tried to share my printer again. Headache after another, this is what it comes down to:

The printer not showing up in the Printer Browser on my mac.. I click the PC, login with empty login and nothing is shown. Anyone have any idea how to pull this one off?

I can browse Vista's files from my mac.. just no print.

Help!
Thanks,

lieb39

I can't be more specific because I'm at work and not in front of Vista, but Vista has more controls for what to share, there is, I believe, a specific checkbox you have to click to allow shared printers as well. Might want to look for that.

All the default things like that I've gone over..

Firewalls off on both ends
Printer shared within Vista's options
Security of printer set to allow ALL users to use
CUPS Driver installed on Mac

No idea what else it is...

Cheers
