Feb 22, 2012 To set up the printer on the Windows 7 box go to Devices and Printers-Add a printer-Add a local printer. Select Create a new port and for Type of port select LPR port. When prompted enter the name or IP address of your Vista machine. I have followed the excellent post on Sharing a printer on Windows 7 Vista network by Cappaj1. It has enabled me to set up a connection between my XP machine and my win 7 machine, but not the other way round. When I try to connect to my xp machine from my Win 7 one, I get asked for a password and everything stops.
