networking printer error

[Dsummers]

hi, not sure if this been asked before. ive searched and found nothing so i
will ask anyway.
i have a home network with 2 wired computers, wireless PC and 2 laptops all
connected to it. The two wired computers each have a printer installed.

i want to network the printers so that anybody on the network can print from
them. i trying to set this up with the 2 wired computers before attempting
any of the wireless, i click add printer on PC A and select the printer
connected to computer B and i recieve an error message saying:

"The server for the 'HP Deskjet F4100 series' printer does not have the
correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for a proper driver
click OK. Otherwise, click cancel and contact your network administrator or
original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver"

Does this mean that i need to install the printer driver on the computer A
or computer B that its actually connected to because if its the latter then
the computer has the most up-to-date driver.

any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to install the printer on each remote machine.....

This assumes that you have file sharing set up correctly and can transfer a
file between all your computers. If you haven't done this, then refer to
this link:

If file sharing is correct, then share out the printers on the machines to
which they are connected, making sure that Everyone is permitted. Since you
forgot to tell us what operating systems those computers are running, I'll
just caution you that creating matching user accounts/passwords on all the
machines makes networking easier.

Download the latest drivers for the appropriate operating systems from your
printer mftr.'s website for the correct model printer. Install on each
computer which you want to be able to use that printer.
