OK this is another "i cant find my printer on my network" question..
i got a small home network (5 computers), and on it i have a Win2003 server (web, file server, general storage, print server) and on this computer i have shared a lexmark z615 printer. Now to the Win7 machine, i do a add network printer, let it search the network, and then i pick... MMMmmmm nothing to pick. Win7 doesnt even see the printer. the 3 WinXP machines i have see and map and print toit just fine. So what gives? i have tried mapping it \\win2003\printer Nope nothing.... is it a bug or BCAC error? (between chair and computer). i dont think win7 being x64 would stop me. the only thing i have not tried to do add the printer and a local printer and in the field for port put \\win2003\printer.any way thanks for your timeCR-

Hey ColeR: Do you still need help with your printer or have you solved the problem on your own? -Nick

Did you remove your Windows 7 machine from the HOMEGROUP? You have to make sure your Windows 7 machine is on the same group as the other computers.
