can't connect to printer

Sort of same problem as scrip - have canon MP830 and new laptop with vista...
Tried to follow instructions on this forum but am not savy enough.
got the 0x00000012 error on laptop so:
Changed printer share name to canon830 on desktop.
try to add port name on laptop \\office-pc\canon830 and get 'access id denied'

Please help.

thanks

Go to Control Panel. Choose printer. Then choose Add Printer.

ChooseAdd a local printer. Click on Create a new port. The default in the
drop down box is Local Port. Do not change that. Click Next.

A dialogue box will appear asking for you to enter a port name. Type in the
\\computer name\printer name ie. My computer's name is basement and the
printer name is EpsonSty so I typed in \\basement\epsonsty
