Vista - cannot connect to network kodak printer

I have a new Kodak [COLOR=#3676A2 ! important][COLOR=#3676A2 ! important]printer[/color][/color] and a new laptop but I cannot connect to the printer. When I search for it...it appears in my network but when I try to add it it says that it will not [COLOR=#3676A2 ! important][COLOR=#3676A2 ! important]print[/color][/color] to printer. I reloaded the software and it just sits there and searches for
the printer. My wife has the same new laptop as I and hers will print so I know
it is not the printer

Can anyone suggest anything. I tried to change the printer sharing under discovery and it is grayed in so I cannot change it

This is what the error says: as I mentioned earlier, my wifes laptop works fine Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709) make sure that you have typed the name correctly and the printer is connected to the network.

Any help will be appreciated
