I HAVE FIGURED OUT PART OF THE PROBLEM I THINK.
THERE ARE 3 NETWORKED COMPUTERS WITH 2 ATTACHED PRINTERS
CATHERINE HP LASERJET 3200 ATTACHED
COMPUTER001 HP 940c ATTACHED
AND THE WIRELESS LAPTOP THRU D-LINK NO PRINTER
IN ADD PRINTER WIZZARD ....IN BROUSE FOR A PRINTER ON
COMPUTER001 AND LAPTOP I SEE
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK
WORKGROUP
CATHERINE
COMPUTER001
ANDREWP THE SHARE PRINTER NAME
THE PRINTER ANDREWP I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT BECAUSE COMPUTER001 AND CATHERINE I COULD SEE ON MY LAPTOP AND COMPUTER001
THE PROBLEM STILL IS THAT ON CATHERINE IN ADD PRINTER WIZARD IN BROUSE I SEE
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK
BUT WHEN I DOUBLE CLICK IT I SHOULD GET
WORKGROUP
BUT I DON'T I ONLY GET AN HOUR GLASS FOR 19 SECONDE OR SO
WHY DOESN'T WORKGROUP COME UP
THEN I COULD SEE CATHERINE AND COMPUTER001 AND I COULD CONNECT THE 2 PRINTERS WITH THE OTHER COMPUTERS
