Thank you for your help. Regards Helmut 1. Install the DRIVER on *both Win7 and WinXP 2. From the system the printer is connected to you tell it to SHARE 3. From the wireless system with driver already installed, you tell it to ADD PRINTER and SEARCH for device from Network. That's it! if the WinXP can network to Win7 then it should be able to find the printer Hi Joel that's what I have done and the printing works perfectly on all machines. Only the message: "The Active Directory Domain Service is currently not available", remains and nobody knows why. Anyhow, merry Christmas to you! Helmut |

Helmut Your network isn't 'fine' - you can see you've no active directory - this is a domain machine yes? (if not, it was!) You may not have permissions to install local printer/s - either way David's note above describes how to install a new one (not in word!) He may simply have set up the computer as being an LDAP/Active Directory networked computer. Unless there is a Domain Controller and the computer getting the message has been joined to the Domain by an account with sufficient credentials, the messages will continue. If there are a number of systems in the network, it might be useful to set up a workgroup. Reasonably sure the OP isnt in a domain or they wouldnt be able to log into their system and use the network without a domain type login DOMAIN\user |

Yes and don't run W7 64bit there are stacks of warning about this and bad driver support.. What version of Office are you running? This error could be a "Wordism" as opposed to something wrong in your printer setup. The proper way to print from Win7 to a non-domain XP owned printer is to tell Win7 that the printer is local, not networked in Control Panel. Then, for the "local" port, you tell it \\XPMACHINE\PRINTERNAME using the UNC format. |
