I am unable to print from my new comp that is networked.
On the old comp, the printer works just fine. It is a
photosmart 1000 series by hewlett packard. when i try 2
add printer to new comp, i have been unable to do so
after following all instructions.there comes a point in
which i am asked 2type in the printer name, i have done
this several times. i get the error box telling m ei have
istyped the name. another box tells me 2 select from a
list of printers, no list ever appears.another box tells
me 2 type in the path to the old computer. i honestly do
not know what to type in there

Have you shared the printer?
Is the Shared Name of the printer in the correct format?

Are the PCs correctly networked together?
