I have attempted to set up a printer for my small home network, and I've run into some trouble. It's a wired network, and both computers are connected to the internet through the router, and are successfully 'networked'.
First I installed the printer onto the BASEMENT computer using the software from the manufacturer. I made sure it worked without errors, and then allowed it to be shared.
I then searched for the printer on the network with MYROOM computer in the Printer and Fax section of the Control Panel. I found the printer, named 'hpoffice' on the network, and went through the steps choosing the appropriate options.
However, MYROOM computer has an error icon in my system tray that says 'hp officejet printer: Error'. When I double click on it to see the Status box, it says 'Printer Disconnected!', even though the printer is on (and working for the BASEMENT pc), and I have rebooted each computer several times incase it was necessary.
I'm out of ideas, thank you for any help given.
