Guest Gena Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I have a XP PRO wired to a Belkin Router. I have a HP OfficeJet V40 connected via USB to the XP machine. They print fine. I even have another XP wired to the router and via the network it prints fine. The trouble is when I connect my laptop to the network. I can share files great. I can even see the printer on the network. I add it to the laptop (vista, and have tried Mac OSX) which is connected via the WIRELESS on the router. It wont print! It HAS worked before in this setup. I restored the router to default settings. No change. any ideas would help THANKS!

If my assumption is correct it would appear to point to a laptop printer driver problem. I suggest you delete then reinstall the printer driver.
