I am running Windows vista Home Basic
A wireless network and Internet connection sharing enabled for all systems
on my network. The printer I am trying to share is on my laptop.
Windows Firewall configured correctly.

I am trying to share my printer to all the computers on my network. I have
enabled the printer and file sharing option and have checked the firewall as
well. When I go to try an add the printer on the other computers I get an
error similar to 'Specified print monitor is unknown'. I am unsure what is
going on here. I do have a printer, HP 1402 PSC hooked up to a computer on
the network, would this be causing the problem.
 
Between ChicargoTec.net and HowToNetworking.com I was able to resolve this
issue by installing as a local printer first and then attempting to shate it
over the network.
