I have a Dell PC with XP Home and a Dell A960 Printer attached to it. I also
have a new HP Laptop with Vista premium that has also had the same printer
attached to it at times so the drivers are installed on HP laptop. I recently
installed a router so I can use laptop wirelessly. That works fine. However,
I am unable to print to the host printer wirelessly. I get message saying
printer cannot communicate with computer. I tried everything I found on
Google searches. I have enabled printer sharing on both. Do I have to make
the Workgroup names the same and if so do I change the Dell with XP or the HP
with Vista? I changed the Dell once to no avail so I changed back. Do
computer names have to be same? Any step by step help would be appreciated; I
am a novice at networking.
