Printer doesn't print

I have a desktop computer running Vista hooked up to a 2300 Series Lexmark
printer. I have a notebook, also running Vista, connected via a wireless
network. I am familiar with how to used the printer from the notebook. I
did it all the time in Windows XP.

My notebook sees the printer and the printer shows up as being available.
When I attempt to print from the notebook, I get no warnings or error
messages, but nothing prints. Any ideas.

I seem to remember somewhere reading of others with difficulties
of some sort. Have you tried the Google route:-
Ther are plenty of hits for:- sharing printer Vista such as below
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/l...7037.aspx#EFAA

There is a small section I see outlinining the differences in the new OS.
from the previous OS (XP).
