Even though I have turned on printer sharing on the Vista machine, I still can't add it to my MBP. Sometimes the Mac sees the Vista machine (but not the printer) and sometimes it doesn't.

Anybody knows what might be going on?

It seems to be rather involved -- have you tried following a guide like this? – Daniel Beck Oct 26 '10 at 11:20
I have already set File Sharing with smb on my mac and its shared folders show up in the windows machine. I also followed the instructions on how to add my mac to the Windows Workgroup (support.apple.com/kb/HT1549), but I still can't see the Windows machine on my Finder's sidebar. The "Add printer" dialog is still empty (no signs of the workgroup or windows machine). Ill try your link. – Fernando Oct 26 '10 at 11:28
That guide is 7 pages. It seems to be a bit more involved than that. – Daniel Beck Oct 26 '10 at 11:31
