This one has me perplexed.

I have a HP Photosmart D7360 printer attached to my PC via a USB port. My PC is running XP SP3. My daughter's PC is running Vista Basic and is on my wireless 802.11g LAN, as is my PC. I can see her PC and share files, and she can see mine. Problem is, she can't share the printer. I've tried installing the printer drivers (for Vista) on her box and going through all the configuration settings in Vista to share the device. I shared the printer on her old machine (running XP SP3 as well) but I cannot under Vista. Been through the HP fora and can't see an answer. My options now are to do nothing, reformat her machine and install a clean copy of XP (I bought one last summer just in case), or get a wireless bridge for the printer. Or maybe there's some configuration setting I've not considered. Anyone else have this problem?

p.s. one of these days I'll get around to taking pictures of my rig and sharing them here. It doesn't look as sick as my water cooled Prescott, but my Zalman heat sink is cooling the 3.16GHz dual core nicely. And if Santa is good to me I'll put in that Velociraptor...
