File Sharing OK, Printer Not recognised

The wireless network allows file sharing, but no matter what I do, I can't
get the printer to work from the laptop. I have tricked the laptop into
changing the port (finally), and have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
and drivers umpteem zillion times on both the desktop (host computer) and
laptop (remote) to no avail. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this
problem, I'd appreciate your input. I have an HP 3320 printer. Thanks in
advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

Are the printer drivers compatible with the OS on your laptop? Check there
first, if not go download them, they are free.

Is the printer actually shared?
