I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart printer to my Windows Vista
laptop through my home network. When I open the network folder, I can
see the printer, but the add a printer wizard can't find it on the
network. This worked before - I've printed from this laptop to the
same printer before, but I deleted the connection on my computer when
I went back to college. Are there any settings that I should be
checking?
 
You may want to setup it as local printer first and then remap it as network
printer. This search result may help.
