A number of new desktops were installed in my workplace. I tried connecting
from one of the new desktops to a shared printer in another office. When I
go the ADD Printer function, and browse for a network or printer connected to
another computer, nothing shows up. When I click on Microsoft Windows
Network, there's a slight delay while it searches, but nothing shows up.

Bob, I think even though you're on a network, you have to have the printer
drivers on your local PC

Thanks, JTR

Is the printer actually connected and shared on another PC or is it a
network connected printer.
