station home net.Printer is HP 8050 Photosmart,I have a HP 6230n desktop with
a lynksys wireless router installed on the desktop,running Vista Home
Prem.The laptop(remote comp has Vista Home basic.On both mach I have done the
foll-In net and sharing center turned on-Net discovery,file sharing,Public
folder sharing and on the desktop turned on printer sharing.On the laptop I
cant install the pri nter When I do try to install printer I am getting a
print spooler error-print spooler in services shows that it is running(on the
desktop have restarted both machines and the printer to no avail.This did
work last week but had a hard drive failure and HP sent me a new one to
install.Thus I am trying to reconfigure the whole desktop again.The network
name is the same on both comp-in view computer and devices both mach show
