noted the pcname and printersharename and on the laptop start-control
panel-classic view-printers-right click on blank area-run as
administrator-add printer then performed the add local printer?

Both computers are runnig VISTA home premium. The Printer is XEROX
WokStation PE16, and the router is a D-Link router.
PLEASE HELP

Next time please don't multipost. You've already got a thread going with
Jack in the networking newsgroup. Since this is a printer issue, you
could
have added a crosspost to this group in your reply to Jack.

Did you install the Vista drivers for this printer on the laptop? Are you
getting the "not enough memory" error on the Desktop or the laptop?

More details, please.
