Access Mac OS X Sharing from Vista

I purchased a new laser printer and use my Mac Mini as the printer server.

My Windows XP laptop can access it. However, Vista desktop got trouble. Here is the solution googled that works:

  1. Click Windows Visa Start Orb
  2. In search box, type "regedit" and return
  3. Once regedit opens, click File -> export to make a backup copy
  4. Navigate to ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsa.
  5. n the right pane, right-click the "LmCompatibilityLevel" key and select "modify"
  6. Change the value from 3 to 1
  7. Exit regedit and you should now be able to properly authenticate to your Mac OS X (or other Samba) share.
