Adding a Printer
Here's the low-down:

The printer in connected to a desktop (XP Home), which is shared on the network. I have 2 laptops (both of which have Vista Home Premium) and are connected to the network via wirless. The first was able to search the network and install the shared printer with no issues. The second one isn't even able to see the computer that this printer is connected to.

I have tried manually adding it, manually directing it to the right system (\\computer\printer) yet nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
