Vista 64 HP ERROR Message

Environment: Wireless Home LAN (Netgear Router) with 3 machines: XP SP2, Vista 64 Home Premi and an iMAC. The iMAC shares its HP laser printer: no other printers installed. Could not get either XP or VISTA to talk to the printer via "add printer."

So I tried 'Bonjour for Windows' and connected the XP to the HP as a HP4550PS: XP now prints to the HP without problem. Tried using Bonjour on the Vista and all went well, seemingly completing the task, until it errored out with: "you do not have sufficient acces to your computer to connect to the selected printer."

Does anyone have a clue how I get 'sufficient access' in Vista?

When you installed, you right clicked and ran as administrator?
Your printer is connected how? Switch, router, or ? Sharing through an iMAC I dont know about.
Vista has security tabs in the properties for some things, like file sharing, that need "everyone" added to allow sharing within a network.
