| | Re: Windows Cannot Connect the printer Mijo, this is what I did. #1) control panel>printer>add a printer> local>use existing port>pich your Deskjet 9800 driver in HP-it's there. #2) install #3) once it's installed, right clic it>properties>ports>add port #4) add port>name it #5) i used this format \\computer\printer where the computer is the name of the remote that has the printer attached;and printer is the name of the printer in the XP pc. Both XP and Vista need printer sharing on-but you prolly now that. Works great.
