Default Printer sharing

Soo frustrating! It's appears everything is configured correctly for me to
access the printer attached to my second laptop in the other room via the
linksys wireless.

I have three computors in all, I can go to each computor and see all on the
system including router,

I go to add a printer and see the 'printer' from the other two computiors
and select it but on one it says I need an unknown ini and on the other i
get windows cannot connect...

printer is on, none of the computors are asleep, I have
driver instaled for the printer on all three computors.

Default Printer sharing

Many Vista printer issues can be fixed by adding the printer as local
printer first and then mapping it as network printer. This search result
may help.
