I looked both on the Vista Forums and on this forum and could not find an answer. The machine is a HP G60 Notebook PC running windows Vista 32-bit OS. She's a member of the workgroup, but we can't get the printer added. We go through the add printer steps, clicking on add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer. The search for available printers shows nothing, so we browse for the printer and we can see the correct computer that the printer is connected to, but when we select it, we are prompted for a user name and password. We type in the name of the computer it's hooked up to and the password we set up for it and get a message that the password or user name is wrong. What am I doing wrong?

Have you set the printer to "share"?
