Hello there:

I have an HP LaserJet 3300 connected to a Dell desktop (WinXPProf) which is
the main PC in a network of 3. Although a laptop (HP Pavilion with
WinXPProf) and another pc (Compaq with Win 2000) are able to connect to the
internet through this computer, I have not been able to use the Laserjet for
printing.

Using the printer wizzard on the laptop has not helped, because it turns up
with no printers. The troubleshooter hasn't worked either. I am convinced
it is ME for the lack of knowledge.

Does anyone have detailed instructions (as in FOR DUMMIES) that I could
follow on this task?

Thanks a lot
