I have a desktop with an hp 5510 all in one printer connected via usb and a
dell laptop. both are running windows xp sp2. I can share files from one to
the other, but i cannot print from the laptop on the 5510 after using the add
a printer wizard on the laptop. i have tried installing alternate drivers
for the 5510 (the hp 990c and 550c) and used the port \\computername\shared
name, which i set up on teh desktop. I can see the printer from the laptop.
However, when i print from word or anything else nothing happnes. If I open
the printer on the desktop, it shows one file printing, (presumably the one I
sent) but nothing happens. Of course, I can print from the desktop with no
problem. What am I doing wrong?
