Vista to Vista networked printer problem

Have two machine both installed with Vista Home Premium. On Desktop
have an HP Officejet 6110 printer shared. Attempting to print from a
Laptop via the shared printer using the name, not IP. When I first add
the printer, I am able to print. When I reboot and try to print again,
the print que times out and I am not able to print.

I have done the basics, made certain that both firewalls are not
preventing the issue. I am using the default firewall on both machines
with Avast home for the virus protection. Verifed that the correct
driver is installed on both machines as well. It is frustrating that I
can print after adding the printer, but cannot after that.

Any thoughts and helpm would be appreciated.

Thank you,
rtietjen

Mick,
I appreciate the link, but I have already followed the steps
mentioned in this article. I can browse to the computer and see the
share. The issue is, I am able to print ONLY right after adding the
printer. After a reboot the print job just times out and does not
print.

Thanks,
rtietjen
