I have 4 PCs on a home network, which consists of a DSL Modem connected to a Netgear Router. Each PC is connected to a separte port on the router, and a Samsung CLP500 colour laser printer connects to PC 1 via the parrallel port, which has Vista Ultimate installed. The remaining PCs are XP Pro.

The problem.

After installing the Samsung CLP500 print driver on PC 1 (Vista PC), only the Vista PC can see the printer and print (colour does work). If the printer is located on any of the XP PCs, the Vista PC cannot print in colour. Note original print driver installed on all XP PCs, and latest Vista print driver installed on Vista PC.

Before i upgraded to vista it worked perfectly. Now i can't even add the printer. The printer is shared and turned on.
