There is a question on another server that I am not able to answer. Can someone give a bit of an input on the below please.
The person is using Windows XP Pro throughout the office and she is adding another XP Pro. That is all the info I have
Here is Joanne's post
"I have 2 "printing with a network" related questions. We have a bit of a
patch work networking mess at the moment and I'm trying to find band-aid
solutions until I have time to learn how to do some of this myself.
First, I'm trying to use the network wizard to add a computer to an existing
network so that the new computer can share the other computer's printer. I
already have 3 computers sharing this particular printer and want to add the
fourth. My problem is someone else set up the original network and I don't
know what she called it. How can I find out what the name of the network is?
Second, I've just gone wireless with my laptop and our whole office now
shares a the same 'extreme speed' connection. I noticed that I can now pick
up all of the printers in the office and print from any of them (without
doing any setting up) except for one - which is of course the one I was
hoping to use. Currently two computers share this printer - but they both
need to be "plugged in" via USB port to print. What would I need to do to
the computer that is connected to the printer in order to make the printer
appear on my wireless network and allow me to print."
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
