Can't Connect to Network Printer
I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart printer to my Windows Vista
laptop through my home network. When I open the network folder, I can see the printer, but the add a printer wizard can't find it on the network. This worked before - I've printed from this laptop to the same printer before, but I deleted the connection on my computer when I went back to college. Are there any settings that I should be checking?

Can't Connect to Network Printer
Did you try adding the printer using Administrator privs? Just go to the Control Panel Printers Run As Administrator Add Printer. This process gave me access to the network printer. Unfortunately, MS Word will not work at all if the network printer is setup as the default and not added by the administrator. -- umbrellasys
