| Vista Home 32 | How can I print from my laptop?? I have a desktop with XP and an HP Photosmart 7260. I have a laptop with Vista Home premium 32 bit. I have them hooked up with a Netgear router. I can view everything on my desktop from my laptop but I can't add a printer to my laptop. The Best Buy guy told me to go on my laptop and add a local printer but when I try that it finds the printer and then says Windows cannot connect to the printer.Make sure that you have typed the name correctly and that the printer is connected to network. What now? I don't have a print server I just want to print from my laptop through my desktop. Thanks! Amanda |
