Neither "Browse" nor \\computername\printername will connect to the external printer. I am out of all ideas. I have followed all help files and instructions. Nothing works. The wizard just hangs waiting for information. Can anyone offer a suggestion?


On the computer to which the printer is actually connected, share a file. Can you access this file from the other computer? If not, what error message do you get?
