Can't add printer to wireless network

D

Diane

I have 2 computers connected w/ a linksys router. The
main computer has a HP printer attached to it and is
running Windows 2000. Sharing on the printer is enabled.
My laptop is Windows XP Home. I go to add the printer
and i tell it to take the printer connected to another
computer. It sees the other computer but does not see
the printer. It asks for a printer name or path?? Can
anyone help.

Thanks

Ensure the shared name of the printer is less than 12 characters/numbers
with NO SPACES in it. Right click on the Properties of the printer (on the
Win2K PC) and if there is a Security tab, go to it and check the XP Home
user has the correct permissions to be able to print.
