    Makhan10,

    Is the printer setup to be shared? Have you gone through the "Add new printer" wizard built in to Windows 7? For additional assistance, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.
