I am using Windows 7 on both my computers. I've already set up my homegroup and set up printer sharing on the unit that is connected to the printer I want to share. But I can't see the printer on my remote computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ron

check in network settings both are set to detect other devices and share printers

Thanks for the reply. I have checked both computers to ensure the the proper settings were checked. i.e they both are set up for shared printers and files. But when I check on "devices and printers" on my remote computer my printer is still not listed.

I think you have to install the printer software on your second computer.

never thought of that, would imagine thats the problem if you haven't installed it

I don't have Windows 7 but I thought this might help.
