My school uses the XPrint server for us laptop users to be able to use classroom printers remotely.

XP works. Vista cannot log me in to the XPrint server.

Is there an incompatibility with XPrint & Vista? How can I go about solving this problem?

No, more likely that the print server's auth is coming across in a way Vista isn't dealing with properly (or vice versa). You should first find out what auth is being used on the xprint server, and maybe a network trace to see if there are any auth failures over the wire that you can see to start troubleshooting.

It is true though, Vista and IPP on *nix print servers do have troubles that XP did not, and most of them come down to auth differences. Especially on domains.
