Printer not extablishing connection
Here is the issue.
I just purchased a brand new HP dv6338se laptop. I also purchased a brand new Lexmark X8350 all-in-1. I connected the all-in-1 first to my already established desktop running XP pro. I connected the printer via USB cable. The printer prints a test page perfectly from the XP desktop. My laptop is connected to my home network via wireless. I have been attempting to connect to the shared printer on the XP desktop. This has failed to work. I ahve tried the following solutions: I have tried every solution found on the internet and still get a communication error with the printer. I do not know what else to do other then to return the printer and get a new one. Does anyone have any other solutions to this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks, Clay

Can you see the files and folders on the XP desktop from the Vista notebook?
Are they both in the same Workgroup? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Clay Beyer" wrote in message ... yes i have "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...
