Dear All,

I am very frustrated in setting up my new Vista notebook printing function.
Could anybody help me??

My situation is :

I have a home network with one desktop running XP Home, attached to a
wireless router by CAT5 cable and a local Epson printer. The Epson printer
was shared as a network printer.

I have another NEC notebook, which accessing the network very fine through
the WiFi, and can print properly.

I just purchased a new Sony notebook that run Vista Business. I set up the
network as follows :

Workgroup : checked and was the same as my desktop
Network : Private
Printer sharing : On
File sharing : On

I can see my desktop in the network map. The notebook can browse the
internet by using IE without any problem.

However, I cannot add the network printer. I choose "Add new printer", and
choose "add new network printer", the result is no network printer found.

I also try to add new local printer, and build a new port, and key in my
shared printer location "\\Zeeman_Desktop\ZeemanEpson", but got the response
that the port is not correct.

I am really frustrated. Who can help me?
