hmm.. i think i followed your directions right but it still doesnt work. o well, thanks for your help guys, i think ill just call the computer company. thanks.
Just to bump this topic, and see if anyone else has any insight into this. I have the exact same situation as guitarplayer. When I try either of the 2 methods given, a message says:
Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.
I am having the same problem with no luck. Just to make sure, when you say to use the desktop name, how would I go about finding that? Also, do you have to have the firewalls turned off on the computer not connected to the printer?
