Solved Can't find printer on the network

I looked both on the Windows7 Forums and on this forum and could not find an answer. The machine is a HP G60 Notebook PC running windows Vista 32-bit OS. The computer the printer is installed on is a Windows7 machine. She's a member of the workgroup, but we can't get the printer added. We go through the add printer steps, clicking on add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer. The search for available printers shows nothing, so we browse for the printer and we can see the correct computer that the printer is connected to, but when we select it, we are prompted for a user name and password. We type in the name of the computer it's hooked up to and the password we set up for it and get a message that the password or user name is wrong. What am I doing wrong?

Has the win7 computer shared the printer?

Yes. It was shared. After much frustration and many tears, my wife realized that she had been spelling the name of the computer wrong.:o

Thanks for your response.

Haha I was gonna say double check the password spelling, but guess it was even more obvious.

Glad you sorted it out.
