I am having some trouble connecting to a shared printer with a laptop. I can connect to the printer with one of my laptops but the user name is the same as on my desktop which the printer is connected to. I even tried mapping a drive to the desktop from the laptop in question but I get a message saying that I may not have permission to the network. ANy idea what may be wrong?
 
One other thing. I am running Windows XP Pro on the desktop and the laptop which can connect to the printer. However on the laptop that I'm having trouble connecting to the printer I am running Windows XP Home Edition.
