    After adding a new PC with W7 64 bit to my network by joining the home group I can not get it to print on the HP 6500 printer that is connected to the network through my 32 bit W7 PC. I can share files and see each PC from the other. The 64bit shows the printer and is set as the default but when I try to print it does nothing at all. I downloaded the HP drivers for 64 bit to the 64 bit PC but they will not install as they keep looking for the printer and can not see it over the network.

    I had a 32 bit XP Pro machine working on the home group so I know that it will work.

    Thanks for any help..schmelz

    Add the printer manually and when it asks you to choose a printer select "Have Disk "
