Desktop and Laptop running Vista. Router Netgear. I can accessed files, but not the printer. Have followed the Microsoft help to access printer. When I right click the printer properties that I want to share I notice that the folder is Xerox Phaser 6110MFP which is also shown on my laptop, but the Network Path reads \\CHRIS-PC\Xerox Phaser 6110MFP2, which is not shown on laptop. When I try to print from the laptop I get nothing. Is this because the network path with a 2 at the end is different, and can I feed the network path into my laptop manually? I hope someone can help because I have to keep pulling the printer cable out of the back of the desktop to put in the laptop.

Hi, Thank you for your post! I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Disable your firewall\antivirus software to check. 2. Reinstall the printer driver and input a correct path. 3. Make sure all the computers have the same network type.
