After sucessfully connecting new laptop to previously installed wireless network and getting online, I'm having trouble finding other network devices such as host computer hard drive, printer, and scanner. When I launch wizard to find printer on network it doesn't find anything.

Most likely a DNS issue
type in Ipconfig /all at a command prompt, or possibly you have not set
permissions on the hosts machine to let you in. This is a normal windows
issue, little to do with Wireless.
