I have 3 computers that are all connected wirelessly and are able to share files. All have files and printer sharing enabled also.

I have my laptop here that's connected to a USB printer. I shared the printer and just called it Printer. I tried to connect to this printer from one of the other computers and added it via Network->Server option. I typed in \\laptopsComputername\Printer and it automatically changed the shared name to the actual printer name I have on my laptop. I didn't care since it was still detected/seen. So I printed out a document from that other computer. I see it in the queue from that computer and my laptop, but it's not budging. Is there any way to release this job or perhaps I did something wrong? I already tried to restart the print job to no avail.

All 3 computers are using Windows XP.

Thanks.

From the remote computer, have you installed network printer driver?

If a computer A has the USB printer installed, a computer B should have the same printer driver installed as network printer.

how to connect printer to 6 pc.Sharing Printer On Another ComputerHi this is bharat I want to know that how to attech printer to my 6 pc because I have a cafe & realy I don't no so pls tell me ans thanks...-question by bharat nautiyal

using windows xp on all the computers, when you connect to the printer windows should automatically install drivers.

1. Goto My Computer, Click My Network Places (Explorer Bar).
2. Click View Workgroup Computers (Explorer Bar)
3. Find the computer that has the printer physically connected to it, open it
4. Find the printer and right click it!
5 Select Connect... and wait for the drivers to install.

this should install the print drivers and install the printer on your computer. the printer should now be available in print dialogs i.e. word etc etc and from the Control Panel > Printers window.

tell us how it goes
