Sharing Printer on Win7 RC


Recommended Posts

I am using the 64-bit Win7 RC and I have an Epson CX9400Fax All-In-One attached via USB. I set the printer to share. When I go to my other PC, which runs Vista Home Premium, I try to set it up, but here is where I run into trouble. I first tried to install the drivers from the CD. When I go to add the printer, it says no drivers installed. I point the install to the driver disc and it says no appropriate drivers found. I then read to try and install the printer local. I go to the Vista machine and add the printer. I select Create New Port and type in the network location of the printer \\mypc\epson. I then get an "Access Denied" error and cannot install. I have a folder share that works fine and I can see the printer on the network from the Vista machine. Network Discovery is on both and Password Protection is turned off for both machines. One other thing I tried to do was set up the printer to share on my PC and add additional drivers for 32-bit. Even local, it says no driver found when I point it to the CD. I have also tried drivers from Epson. There are no Win7 drivers so I got the Vista ones. Can anyone point me to where I may be screwing up? I don't need the other features on the Vista machine, just print capabilities. Thank you for the help.
