i have 6 desktop computers in my office, four of these are connected to the
network using a linksys switch. i have a printer connected to one of those
four. We also have several laptops come in and out.

i want the printer to be available to all other computers in the office but
when i use the Add Printer Wizard from any other computer it doesn't find the
printer. i just get Micrsoft Windows Network in the list, not the complete
list that I get when running the wizard from the other two computers or
laptops.

Also, when the printer is connected to one of the other two computers it can
be found by a laptop, but not but by any of the four that are connected to
the linksys switch.

Any ideas or suggestions about this, i have contacted linksys but they say
they don't support file and printer sharing. i think i've covered all the
obvious bases, enabling printer sharing, running the set-up wizard etc

thank you
