Upgraded XP HE to XP Pro and lost printer on network

[Guest]

I just upgraded to xp pro and now I have lost the ability to print from my
wireless desktop. I have an hp photosmart 7660 printer and it is
discontinued. I upgraded both of my computers and the one that is directly
connected to my router still prints. I deleted the printer from my wireless
desktop thinking that I could reinstall it but now I am still unable to
connect to the printer to install it. I assigned my "server" a static IP
thinking that may help but still no go. Can anyone out there help me?

Static IP shouldnt effect it the internal network. Try running the share printers/faxes wizard with windows (im not sure if this is included in pro)

or go to Start>>Run>>\\*insert "server" name here*

though this will only work if you have shared the printing device (right click, sharing and security)

though again, i only have home but the feature should still be there in pro
