I seem to have a problem gettin my printer to setup on one of my laptops.

The printer is connected to a desktop and shared via wireless network. it works fine on two other laptops.

for my third laptop it doesn't come up in The add printer wizard list.

Any ideas?

Do you have Norton Internet Security? that was my problem. I unistalled it and used Avast Anitivirus Free Edition.

You have to uninstall Norton Internet Security it still will not let you use Printers or files on another computer.

Have you set the computer names, all with the same workgroup, and tried typing in the exact network address (ie "\\BOBBY\DellPrinter")?

yes, make sure all of the computers are on "workgroup". Or if you have it called something else, then make sure its the same. Sounds to me like your on a different network than the rest.
