I have a Kodak ESP-3 printer connected via USB to a computer downstairs. This is set up to be shared across the network (consisting of my laptop, desktop pc and the computer it is connected to). All the computers are running Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium, but my desktop will not connect to the printer. It is wirelessly connected directly to the same router as the PC with the printer, but everytime I enter its location (\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\kodak) it sais the printer cannot be found.
However on my laptop which is wirelessly connected to a different router which is connected to the first router with Ethernet which is connected to the PC with the printer, I entered (\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\kodak) and it found it at once and installed all the drivers and works fine.
I have tried running the desktop pc without virus protection, as admin, through windows explorer (where you can even see the printer, but still not connect), and cant think what is stopping it??
