Network Printer not showing upI have Windows XP Home on my desktop with a HP Photosmart 1115 Printer hooked up to it. I have a notebook with Windows XP Professional. I am using a router to get internet to both CPU's. The desktop has a wire from the router, the laptop is wireless. The internet works fine. Now I am trying to set up a shared printer. I have selected my printer to share in the printers folder and ran the Network Setup Wizard. When I try to add a network printer by browsing on my laptop it sees the computer labelled Basement (desktop) but there is no printers under it. I can't figure out why it won't show up. When I browse for a network printer on my basement computer (desktop) the printer shows up. I think this problem has something to do with the XP Home not sharing its files and printers properly because it is the same for file sharing. I'm not overly concerned about the file sharing but if someone could help with the printer it would be great. If I need to give more information just let me know. Thanks! scottnod***@hotmail.com wrote:
