1) Go to Start - Run - type in cmd (for command prompt) and type ping
\\nameofdesktop, does it respond? If not, then you are not seeing it at
all. If yes, then go to #2.
2) Open your Printers dialog, go to the address bar, and type in
\\nameofdesktop. Does your shared printer show up? If so, can you
right-click and choose "Connect"? If you connect, but the printer doesn't
show up, then it's not being shared properly.
Cool, thanks Todd! I have not tackled this yet - hope to next
week. I'm a real dummy w/this networking thing. Have tried it once
or twice before and not succeeded so I'm hoping for better results
this time. I really need to get that printer working off both puters
and share files as I'm planning on switching from desktop to the
laptop for working on.
