the printer is connected to a computer in another room where it is working fine. what im trying to do is share the printer between the computer its connected to and this one that im using right now. when i add a printer in the printers and faxes folder i do this:
open add printer wizard > then i choose network printer, or printer attached to another computer > then browse for printer > at this point i get stuck, i can see all the shared printers but i cant see mine. thats my problem.

did you enable sharing the printer in the computer the printer is connected to?

check your firewall settings on the computer with the shared printer. I use Zonealarm, and the same thing happened to me.

the sharing printers and faxes tab is already selected in the firewall settings. i should also mention that i had an older printer before this one that i used sharing on and it worked fine.
