Hi;

I have a Dell desktop connected to my HP printer and it prints fine. I want
to network my dell laptop wirelessly to the same printer using the desktop
computer as a print server. The laptop will go online thru the router. All
devices are in the same group and I can browse for the printer name from the
laptop printer set up; find and install it but when I try to print I get a
net work error stating that - it couldn't print, would I like to start the
troubleshooter.

After it didn't work I then loaded the HP printer software on the laptop.
Not sure if it was needed but thought - what the heck - give it a try. No
help.

Does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks

dlm
