All of a sudden after always working before, my printer, which is not
connected to my laptop, but our home pc, is not connected to my laptop. I can
not find it using the add a printer wizard, and I no longer have the original
printer install disc. I have tried numerous suggestions from other posts, and
none have worked. My home pc printer is set up to share, the printer has a
name, and my wireless connection is up and running. Any suggestions for
getting my printer to work from my laptop?

The first thing I would try is to download to your laptop the relevant
printer driver from the website of your printer's manufacturer. The install
process should offer you the way to connect to the printer connected to you
"non-local" home pc

Please check the printer ports section to see if your printer port to the
shared printer still exists. If it references an IP address and the IP
changed on the PC, then the printer will not function.

I would have the latest downloaded driver ready and then locate the PC and
the printer share from the laptop and right click the printer and then
"connect".


Good luck!
