[SOLVED] Reinstalled windows, trying to share printer, nothing prints

I have a 64bit windows 7 desktop, with a usb printer attached. I also have a notebook with 32bit windows 7 on it.
Previously I was able to share printers just fine via homegroup, but that is not the case anymore.

I can make it so that the notebook is able to see the printer, and sending pages to it is successful, but everything sent to it is blank. Test pages, even txt files, nothing comes out. I can print the exact same file from the desktop fine, but in the print listing, the jobs from the notebook are much smaller.

I've had this work fine in the past but I can't get it to work now. I suspect a driver issue, but how would I share the driver?

Are the printer drivers installed on all machines? Also check your ink levels.

Ink is fine. Anything printed from the destop is fine. In fact, I just added some ink yesterday.

Regarding drivers, I know they are working on the desktop, as it prints.
On the notebook, not so much. The driver says it is a "J3600" driver (printer model) but it doesn't seem to work. Additionally, this screen, from my desktop, is not the same on the notebook


Which brings back to how do I get the driver on the notebook :S

Update. I turned everything off, took a break, turned it back on, and it worked. I hate it when this kind of stuff happens.
