We used to have 2 laptops and 1 desktop (all running XP) on our wireless
network.  We have our printer hooked up to our desktop.

We added 1 laptop to our network (running Vista), and none of our laptops
are able to print anymore.  What could cause this? What can I do?

Thanks!

This could be computer browser issue. Do you receive any system errors if
running net view \\desktopname?

I'm not sure what you mean.  I have several folders shared on my desktop, and
I am able to view those if that's what you mean.
