Trouble adding a network printer.

forhockey · 01-21-2007, 10:23 AM

I'm trying to add a printer over the network at someone's house and came across something very unusual. I get to the Add Printer Wizard, but it doesn't give me an option to add a network printer like the picture below.

The add a network printer doesn't even exist, and I'm only displayed with the local printer option.

Has anyone ever come across this problem, and know how to fix it?

Thanks

I have to ask, no offense, but does the PC in question have a properly configured network card installed?

Yes, it can connect to the internet over the network...
