Printer sharing-1 laptop says driver missing but OK with other pc/
I have a wired home network set up with 1 pc and 2 laptops using vista and 1
pc using XP. I have a Dell AIO printer linked to the XP PC and have just installed a new Epson printer to the Vista PC. Here's my problem - all PCs and laptops recognise each other and recognise both printers. Both PCs and 1 of the laptops are connected to both printers but 1 of the PCs will not connect to either printer and gives the error message that the wrong drivers are installed. Since all the other computers recognise and connect to both printers I don't see how this is the case. I have tried everything to find out how to connect this laptop to at least one of the printers, without any success. Can anyone help? |
