SHARED PRINTER ISSUES
I am having problems with a shared printer on my home network. I have searched this online, and I can only find other people complaining about it, and not really any answers. I was hoping you could help.
I am sharing a printer from my computer (let's call it the main computer) through my home network. Everything was fine until about 3 weeks ago. All of a sudden the shared printer was not accessible on the other computers. Error # 0x00000709 is given.
No settings have been changed, and I haven't changed the name of any network devices, or computers.
I am trying out Yahoo Answers for the first time. If you have any experience with this error, or have any suggestions, could you please answer there, or comment on this post?

Thank you so much in advance!
EDIT: I should have mentioned that my computer (with the printer) is using Vista Home Premium, and other machines on the network are a mixture of Vista and XP - all cannot access the shared printer.
