can you ping the device from the laptop?

I have previously connected seven laptops running XP Home to an HP 3500
colour laserjet printer, wirelessly, via a Netgear DG834G router and a
54WGPS606 printer server, using the installation CD provided by HP, with
no
problems.
I am now trying to connect another laptop running Vista Home, and when I
get
to the stage where I enter the IP address of the printer server, I just
get
an error message saying that Vista can't find the printer.
All the rest of the network works perfectly, the XP machines can see the
Vista machine, and vice versa - any suggestions ?
