Title: Network Printer.
Post by: just some guy on December 31, 2006, 03:10:40 PM

I am trying to print from my laptop to my Desktop computer's printer.

I added the printer on the laptop through the active directory.
I checked the wireless settings, all good.
The Printer/Fax menu showed it was ready to print.

But every time I go to print something within 15 seconds i recieve a "printing failed" message, why is this?

PS: I have already done numerous troubleshooters and been through many help menus, dont refer me to them.

On your laptop if you go to your control panel and go to printers do u see the printer on the desktop listed there? It should say the name of the printer and the name of the computer that it is on. Make sure that is set to your default printer.
