After furious head scratching, Sole Dog asked:

| I have a Windows XP Home desktop connected to a printer via USB and,
| I have a Windows Vista Premium laptop connected through a wireless

| queue with a print error, and also show up on the desktop under the
| print jobs as a print error. Print jobs iniated from the desktop
| work just fine. Please help with a solution to my wireless network
| printing problem.
