Printer Problem

Expand Post »
I am unable to use my HP laptop to print. I have a HP printer which is directly connected to my Dell desktop using a Linksys wireless router. I used to be able to print from my laptop but cannot now. I made sure "printer sharing" was enabled but still no printer is recognized on the laptop. Any advice? Thanks

Re: Printer Problem

I'm just going to throw some stuff to look at. Do you have the printer's driver on the laptop? Has the printer's name changed? Is the printer still set as the default printer? Can you still share other files over the network?

Re: Printer Problem

I never had to install a printer drive on the laptop as it recognized the printer before.

Re: Printer Problem

You still should have the driver on all the computers that are to access the printer.
