Connetion issues wi networked printers connected on XP boxes

I'm testing the 64-bit Feb 06 release. Is anybody having any problems seeing shared networked printers which are connected to the network on XP boxes?
When I try to scan for the printers, Vista can't find em...

Can you try entering in the name or the IP address of the printer instead? Also make sure your workgroup/domain names are matched up with the computer the printer is connected to :o)

Try type in the name of the printer ie.
\\home-desktop\Printer7

Thx for the suggestion. Unfortunately, these are just printers connected through another PC rather than through a print server so there's no unique IP :(
