    I've been fighting this problem for days. I tried creating a new port
    as suggested above by typing "\\computer name\printer name", but Vista
    kept saying the port name was invalid. Finally, I tried it again, but
    this time I replaced my computer name with the IP address -
    "//192.168.2.3/HPOffice" and IT WORKED!!

    Thank you guys! You really helped me get pointed in the right
    direction! I hope my post further helps other. I LOVE THIS FORUM!
