First, disable both firewalls to see if your computers can see each other.  Start, Run, Command, IPCONFIG to see what the IP address is for each computer...something like 192.168.1.x, probably.  Then, from the command window, run PING 192.168.1.x (with x being the appropriate number for the other computer).

Make sure both computers are in the same 'Workgroup'.  Vista defaults the name to Workgroup, XP defaults to MSHOME.

In Vista, Add a Printer.

USE LOCAL, not network.  I know.  It's stupid.  Trust me, it works.

Keep all the default settings, but name the local port:   \\xpcomputername\printername

Follow the rest of the 'Add Printer' wizard.

Your Vista machine can now see and print to the printer on the XP box!

But you CAN do it, without having to create a separate text box for each bullet.

Here's how:

• Select the text box that has the bullet list in that you want to build.
• Under Custom Animation, 'Add' a Modify Effect.
• Choose an Entrance.  I prefer 'Appear'.  Click OK.
• Click on the ellipsis (3 dots  ... ) next to the 'Property' drop-down.  (Even though Property is ghosted.)
• On the Text Animation tab, Group Text by 1st level paragraphs and click OK.

That will make your bullet lists build in OpenOffice Impress the same way they do in Microsoft Powerpoint.
