Networked printer problem
Windows XP PCs/laptops all running on a shared home network. Set up printer
connected to one of the PCs for sharing. When attempting to connect one of the PCs(laptops) to a printer, which I can see using browsing, I get an error message (Error: The printer name is not valid). Tried renaming. Current name "HP2200". Highlight the "browsed" printer and click Next, I get the error; "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. For more information, click help". I did run the wizard for all and have all the PCs/laptops in the same workgroup. It looks like this in the Shared printer list: \\HOMECOMP\HP2200 hp psc 2200 series |
