got a new pc in the house that has win7 64bit on it. The only printer in the house is on mine that is xp-pro.
Finally after an hour I figured out how to rename the workgroup on the 7 machine and had to make it be on "work network" rather then "home"
So they are on the same workgroup and see each others name now. The xp has had the firewall turned off since day1 so people can print to it for past 5 years.
Now, on the 7 machine, I go to add printer on network...doesnt find it. I manually type in pcname\printer name, no find. Keeps telling me it cant talk to xp because of firewall issues. WTF? Firewall is completely disable!!!
Any help because I am already pissed off at it. I can already tell I dont like 7. Hell, I cant figure out how to put it in classic mode besides the start menu. _________________ 2008 GMC Z71
