I've got two desktops running XP Pro and a laptop running XP Pro all connected on a network. They've all been able to print up until yesterday.
Suddenly I can't print from my computer (a custom AMD build). I tried messing around with the settings but it wouldn't connect. So I deleted the printer and thought i'd try to find it again on my network, start fresh.
I click on Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer.
I then go through the Wizard and select "A network printer or printer attached to another computer," > "browse for printer." It says, "When a list of printers appears, select the one you want to use." However, no list ever appears.
I click next, but it tells me that I need specify a valid network printer name... There's nothing to choose from, but I know it's connected and I know it's set to be shared as the network printer.
Everything is connected through a router. The two desktops are hardwired and the laptop is wireless...
I got it working now, though. Don't know what the problem was, but I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer (even though I could use it from the other two computers).
