Re: Lost ability to network my printer

[Cari \(MS MVP\)]

Can you see the PC on which the printer is installed? Are both PCs in the
same Workgroup?

Can you connect to the printer using \\NameofPC\SharedNameofPrinter

Is the Shared Name of the Printer less than 13 characters/numbers with no
spaces?

be accessed. When I run wizard and browse for printer all I get is
"Microsoft Windows Network", but no printer. Main computer has 'share
printer' enabled, network names are ok too.
