I've just got a new laptop, running on WINDOWS Vista with Microsoft Word 2007.

My DAD and my sister are currently connected to our WIRELESS printer, a lexmark 3500/4500. However, I seem only to be able to print via the original laptop which the printer was FIRST connected to, so I can only print when the other laptop is on, something that my sister doesn't have to do from her laptop.

Has anyone got any hints for me? I'm REALLY poor at computers, but I've tried all the basics that I can think of.

Would it have anything to do with needing to install software for the printer or maybe because we're on different types of Windows (the original computer being on XP)?

Anyhelp would be really gratefully received...so far Windows has failed to help me in any way!!i'd remove the printer from your computer. then with the printer's laptop OFF, i would add the printer back onto your computer ( 'Control Panel', 'Printers', 'Add A Printer', 'Add Network, Wirless, Bluetooth') . make sure you have the correct name for the printer when you add it.
