Trying to share a printer on home network. desktop has 2
printers attached to it. notebook has none. both
computers connected to a wireless router. used network
wizard to set up the network. notebook is unable to
access printers on the desktop.
looked at control panel/printers and right clicked on the
printer. tried to set printer to "share this printer"
and consistently get error message that "printer settings
could not be saved".

What is going wrong?

Please reply to my e-mail address
 
Do you have file and printer sharing on a network enabled? You should be
able to go to printer properties and click on Share on the computer that has
the printers attached. They will show up on the other machine then. Make
sure Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on both computers. Go to
Network Connections Folder and click on Advanced on the toolbar and click on
advanced settings this is where you will see what it is bound to. Print
Spooler is on Automatic and started. Are these two XP machines you are
networking?
