Hi, this is actually weird, i have the opposite, a bran new (old) desktop running win Xp 32 bit, and using 3 laptops in the home all running win 7 64bit, now when i tried to configure something els, i actually made the printers(plugged into the xp desktop) shared in my home network to be able to print without having to plug the printer in. Since This morning, the printers have gone missing from all ym laptops, but not from the desktop, yet ive followed most step by step guides i found on the net, about sharing between xp and win 7, and the printers never came back, and this is a BIG issue now... can some one contact me or even find me a step by step guide of how to do this??? i have 3 printers..... 1 HP laser jet, and 2 canon, but we mostly use the laserjet one its the Hp Color Laserjet cp1215 thank you :)
