network wireless printer shows as computer

On a laptop I just added to the home workgroup, I see the wireless printer in the folder area under network as a computer. But when I go tro Devices and printer and ask to add a new printer it searches and does not find it..

So how come it shows as a computer & not a printer? How do I get it to show as a printer..

Ps.. it is a wireless printer a Kodak esp 7
