Resolved Laptop can't find shared HP8600 Pro networked printer

My HP Officejet 8600 Pro- Model CM750A cannot be found by my Acer netbook. The netbook is connected wirelessly to the same router.

I can print wirelessly from the Desktop, which is where I installed the HP Printer. What software, if any, do I need on the netbook? Is there something else I need to do and if so what? I do not want to use HP's eprint.

When I attempt to add the printer to the laptop, it only finds a neighbor's shared printer, not mine.

I have a DLink Router and Norton Security Suite.

My router shows the following
IP Address Name (if any) MAC
192.168.0.250 MyNetbookname 00:25:56:67:de:6d
192.168.0.252 HP657C29 10:1f:74:64:52:b4 (Printer)
192.168.0.254 MyDesktopname 00:11:11:99:19:f0

WinXP SP3 is on both systems.

Printing wirelessly from my Dell desktop works properly.

I have set the printer properties to shared on my network.
This connection is important to me as my 5 1/2 year odl Dell desktop has lost one RAID drive and not sure how long the rest will last. Everything has been backed up and a new system ordered. In the meantime I need to be able to print from the netbook, in case the Dell goes kerplunk soon.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

 

Problem solved.
HP website was not helpful and when I used the HP Installation CD, it looked as though I was going to set up the entire Printer functions, instead of just adding it to the netbook. Finally found a place on HP website that eventually directed me to a diagnostic utility. Utility explained more fully how to use the original install software to connect the printer to the netbook.

I downloaded the install software from HP website and went from there.

When I finally got to the correct place everything went smoothly. Problem is that the HP website is not very helpful for finding what you may need.

I should have known how to do this but got confused because of the Installation initially seeming to get me to set up the entire 8600 configuration.


Thanks anyway.
