Hi,

At an office I'm working from there is a wireless network and a print server.

I'm connected to the wireless network and can access the internet, etc.

I am trying to print to the printer connected to the print server but when I
select 'add a printer' and then Browse for Printer all I get returned is
'Microsoft Windows Network' with nothing underneath it. From the other
machines in the office they can all see the printer server.

Any ideas pls?

(I've also got this problem at home where I've got a printer connected by
cable to a notebook. The printer is set-up to be shared but from another
notebook I can't see the shared printer??)

Thanks
Nick
