Printer Wizard Does Not Display Remote Printer.

I have a home network wherein a Netgear router is wired to a desktop and a laptop is connected wirelessly. The desktop has a printer connected to it for which I have enabled sharing. When I try to use the Printer Wizard on the laptop to connect to the printer, the wizard’s search mechanism does not display the printer; it only displays:
“Microsoft Windows Networkâ€
“MSHOMEâ€
“Netware or Compatible Networkâ€
Also please note that the network was configured by the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility. Any ideas on how I should proceed ?

 

Actually nothing, the hour glass appears for about 10 seconds, then the cursor returns to its arrow icon.

 

I should add that when I click NEXT I get the message "You need to specify a valid network printer name. "

 

Yes there are two check boxes, one for local and the other for network; I check Network Printer.

 

The problem has been solved by the following advice I received.

You can bypass the wizard all together.

On the computer where the printer is shared go to
start -> run -> "cmd" -> enter
at the command prompt type "ipconfig /all" and press enter
In the data that comes up, look for the line that says hostname and make a note of the name.

On the computer you want to access the printer on, go to
start -> run -> \\[hostname] (where [hostname] is replaced with the hostname of the computer with the printer). If you've shared the printer properly, and the computer come up, you should see the shared printer.

Following that advice, the shared printer did, indeed, display, and when I attempted to print a document the printer was not displayed as an option, so I selected the ADD A PRINTER option, which then displayed the Printer Wizard, which did not list any printers. However, when I entered the host computer name, the Wizard appended the printer name, and I was able to print (again) ! Also I might mention that before the document printed, I received a warning message saying the host computer was downloading a printer driver to my remote computer.

Thank you for your attention to my problem; I'm sure I'll be posting additional queries for which I will be grateful for your help.
