We just got our first Vista Business computer (laptop), and I'm trying to get it to connect to a networked shared printer that is on the teacher's main computer.

but, although I can see the printer itself, whenever I try to connect to it, it says 'Access Denied'. I am logged on to the Vista machine as an administrator. I can connect to this printer using an MCE computer and an XP computer, so there apparently must be some setting I need to change on Vista to let me get at this printer.

Anyone know what that might be?
