I also bought an HP notebook on January 30, (with Vista Home Premium) and
have been trying ever since to install a network printer. I'm logged onto
the network to the extent that I can access network programs, and the
internet works. But, the new Vista notebook cannot see any other computers
or printers. As long as I never need to print anything, I guess I'm in good
shape!
I've checked all of the obvious things, (workgroup name the same, sharing
turned on, etc) but since the setup screens for the networking are all so
much different, I must be missing something everytime.
