Does anyone know how I can get my computer to connect to printers which are on a different computer on the same network. Both on vista 64.

Have tried changing the options to share printers bu it hasnt helped (9 month old problem :P)

Cheers,
Alex.

have you checked 'network discovery' and 'file and printer sharing' are both turned on in the network/sharing centre?

also what is vista showing the connection as public or private? if it's public, change it to private or turn on network discovery and file/printer sharing [probably not recommended... they're turned off by default for a reason]

Well. I tried the above again but it did nothing.
It refuses to note any printers, apart from my PDF creator :P
