xxkbxx Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey everybody,Fresh out of last week's reload I'm having trouble getting my downstairs computer to recognize the network printer.Both computers have XP, are under the same workgroup name, and I configured the printer (through the computer directly connected to the printer) to share the printer on the network.When I go to the other computer it's not finding the printer when it browses the network - how can i fix this?(note, as of now, I haven't tried searching by \\boehm\psc2410 when it asks for the direct address if that would even work) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
