So I've configured the computer with the installed printer to share it but
when I try to add it on another desktop it gives me a "Windows cannot connect
to the printer. Either printer name was typed incorrectly or printer has
lost connection." It detects but it says that I've typed it incorrectly.

Look at the printer driver. Does this printer support being shared? Not all
do.

Look at name resolution on the client, and the server, too.
