1022n printer works fine with XP, not with Windows 7

Network printer and is "seen" by XP machines.  I have a laptop running Windows 7 and it can't see the camera... so I can't install it.  (Of course, I can install it as a USB device... but this isn't what I want).  I downloaded and installed the new Windows 7 installation software.

Any suggestions?

Disabled earlier, I had my firewall (or at least I thought so) does not.

However, I tried something someone else has suggested:

I assigned a static IP address to my printer... an address outside of my my dynamic range.  Then I was able to select the option to add a printer using a TCP/IP address.  It worked... so I stopped any investigation further.

It was quite a scavenger hunt determine how to configure IP address static... but someone in another thread set me off: I started typing addresses in my dynamic range until I found one that matched my printer (the goodness it's only 5 numbers since the beginning of the dynamic range) and he had the option... my ability to change an automatic IP address a manual IP address.

Thanks for your help though.
