Guest Bigjoe Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I have a small office with 5 computers all connected to a network hub. I want to be able to print with the "network Laser printer". I have tried all the suggestions turned off the firewalls, all the computers have File and printer sharing turned on. When I try to find the printer, no printers or other computers show up on the Microsoft network. What Next ? Thanks

Guest Martin X. Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: Network Printer Did you share it correctly? If so, go to another computer and go to Start > Run > type in \\PrinterPC (substitute PrinterPC with the computer name of the computer with the printer) and see if you can see the shared printer. Also, you might need to play around with simple file sharing to get all this working. See XP help system for that. -- Regards, Martin X.

Some printers require that the printing driver, etc., be installed on all computers. But, since you didn't disclose the make and model of the printer, I can't tell you much more. Jim
