Still can't link network printer
I just spent the past few days researching posts on this problem but nothing has yet to help. Based on all the posts, this must be a major issue.
Like others, I have a pc running XP w/sp3 and printer attached and am attempting to print from my wireless laptop running Win7. I've tried multiple guides suggested from various forums, the How to Geek and even your very own Jimbo 45 but nothing works.
When I set the printer to share and set up a local port, \\MasterPC\i960, I get "network path not found". Shared printer doesn't show up under the network browsing area. I don't use the Windows firewall and have disabled my PCTools firewall. I still need to set up 2 other XP laptops once this is resolved.
I was using Network Magic for my file and print sharing but not without it's own quirks.
Member Digerati suggested using a print server on a previous post. If I can't resolve this in the next day or two, I will seriously consider it.
Thanks for any help...
