OK...I know this should be easy and I'm sure it's something simple, but I
just can't get it.......

I have a wireless network set up at home with two PC's. One has XP and the
other has 2000. My work laptop has XP Pro.

Each PC on my home network has it's own printer and they can successfully
print on either of the printers.

Now, when I bring my work laptop home, it instantly finds the home wireless
network, but I cannot figure out how to get my work laptop to print on either
of the two home printers.

I've gone through the "add a printer" wizard on the work laptop and when it
searches for network printers while I'm on the home wireless network, it
brings up the name of each of the home PC's, but will NOT show either of the
home printers. I've designated each printer to as a 'shared' printer, but
the setup wizard can't seem to find them.

What am I doing wrong???? Thank you!
