I have difficulty sharing my Printer over my Home Network. I have a
desktop, running Win XP Home Edition and 2 notebooks connected wirelessly to
the desktop using a 2Wire 1800HW ADSL Modem/Router (with Firewall) at
10mbps. The desktop is connected to the Modem by a Ethernet cable.
Browsing the Internet with the notebooks was not a problem.
I set up Printer sharing following instructions form Microsoft's site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspx
For Printer sharing, I clicked Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware,
Printers and Faxes. Under Printers and Faxes, I clicked my HP printer's
icon and, then clicked Share This Printer.
I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing
tab, then clicked Share Name, (Printer4).
However, when I went to my notebook and clicked Add a New Printer, I didnt
see the HP printer's name at all. Browsing for the network printer also
didnt work. The notebooks did not detect the printer.
Grateful if you can help. Thank you
