    I have a Samsung ML-2010 shared on my XP desktop computer on my home network. On my laptop I'm running Vista Home Premium. I've never had problems before sharing a printer on XP, on Vista it seems like it's adding it then it says the spooling service has stopped and it must be restarted. I do so but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? I have the Vista drivers from Samsung's website so I don't know what it could be.

    Does it work if you connect the notebook directly to the printer?
