I did as described and I get "The server for the printer does not have the correct driver installed." I search for the correct driver, but cannot find it.

Please help

Why does my wife's laptop no longer connect to the wireless printer?
We have a wirless router. I have a laptop (running Windows XP) hard-wired via a docking station to 2 printers. I have enabled sharing on both printers. My wife's laptop (runing Windows Vista) has been printing to these 2 fine. Tonight, it now says we need to install the print drivers (for both printers). I tried physically connecting one of the printers and it installed fine, saying "You already have the driver for this printer installed" and could print no problem. So, I suspect it's a network issue not a printer issue? What could be the problem? I can "see" both printers in windows explorer on my wife's laptop, I have checked that sharing is enabled, it always ends up asking for the driver and then giving an Windows cannot connect to the printer" error message. Any other pointers? (Sorry it's kind of open ended, let me know what more I should add to make the question easier to answer?)
Thanks for all your help!

Is it possible to use printer network with two different computers ( 1 Macbook and 1 Asus notebook)? Both units are wifi ready.

Both my computers on the network were named by the programs. Both are XP. I can print from my newer computer to a DellAiO in the bedroom on an older computer, but I cannot print from my new Kodak printer on my newer computer to the Dell in the bedroom. It browses and finds the printer and when I click next, a box comes up and says the name is either wrong or the printer is not connected to the server which it is if the browsing found it.

When trying to add a printer to my network so the remote laptop can print from it, I can't expand the network and see the printer that is wired to desktop?
