  Are you using Printer Sharing offered by OneCare or are you manually sharing the printer?

  You may want to reinstall the printer driver on the laptop for that specific printer.

  I am using OneCare printer sharing.  The computer that has the printer attached to it is not the laptop. This is the configuration:
  Laptop w/Vista Home Premium: OneCare Hub, prints blank page on Lexmark printer attached to PC1
  PC1 w/XP Home: has Lexmark printer attached
  PC2 w/XP Home: no printer, no driver installed for Lexmark printer, but prints fine via OneCare printer sharing
  
  

  I didn't think the driver would need to be installed on a computer sharing the printer via OneCare.  But I'll give it a try.

  Installing the driver helped.  It is a Lexmark printer, and there is an updated driver for Vista.
  Thank you!
