Cannot connect Win 7 laptop to XP PC at home

Hi all,

Hope y'all can help. I have a laptop with Win 7 Pro x64. It is a member of my work's domain. I have a PC with XP SP3 and a local shared printer on it. The PC is a member of my home workgroup.

When my laptop was XP, I had no trouble printing to the printer attached to the PC. Now, I cannot connect.

The PCs name is "Sokhan ". The printer share name is "P1005 ". The username of the PC is also "Sokhan" and that is the administrator account that was renamed.

On the laptop, I type in "\\Sokhan\P1005" and get the username and PW box. I type in "Sokhan\Sokhan" and get the following error:

logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer

Have Googled to no avail. Why can't I connect?? ARGH!

THANKS in advance for any help.

Chris
