O.P. Printer Sharing...
Before my mum got her new computer we had it set up so that my computer would use the printer hooked up to her computer through the network, now since she got her new computer I can't get it to work :undecided:

her computer is running Windows Media Center Edition, her old one was running XP Pro. Mine is running XP Pro.

In the printer setup on her computer I've set it to allow sharing for the printer that I want to print from, but when I go to set it up from my comptuer I get this:

---------------------------
Connect to Printer
---------------------------
Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help.
---------------------------
OK   Help   
---------------------------

I've double and triple checked the printer name but it still doens't work :< any suggestions?
