Trying to set up a network printer so I can print from my laptop. NM map is showing printer on desktop with a yellow directional arrow going both ways. When I try to set up the printer windows can't find a driver for the printer on the network. I can locate them manually but that does not seem to work. I created a new port on the desktop where I have \\computername\\printername and that does not work. There are no drivers for this printer to work in Windows 7--do I need to install the printer drivers on my laptop? Is this a lost cause trying to get this printer to work through the network? The printer queue will pop-up on the laptop?? I hope I included enough information.
