XP laptop can't locate printer on W7.
The printer is installed and working great, locally, on Windows 7. I then unplugged the printer's USB and plugged it into the XP laptop and installed the driver on the laptop. I can print locally from both machines but I can't print wirelessly from the laptop.
I tried to "add a printer in XP by clicking on "add printer". Then, in the add printer wizard, I chose "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer". In the next window, I chose "search for printer" It says to select a printer from the list that pops up but my printer isn't there. The list only shows;
"Microsoft Windows Network"
"MSHOME"
"COMPUTERNAME" (the actual name of my PC)
I also tried adding the printer using "local printer attached to this computer" and checked "automatically detect and install my plug and play printer"
I've tried everything.
Here's some screen shots that might help.
