Try to add a printer, but it says that it is already installed. But it is not in my list of installed/uninstalled programs.

I tried to add my printer to run off of my laptop wireless, my desktop computer, is connected with a Linky router, my DSL. When I use add printer to my laptop, I do very well, until a box opens and indicates that the printer I am trying to add, is already on my laptop, & let me not then add it. I checked my list of installed/uninstalled program, but it is not listed there. My printer work very well on my laptop, when I had Windows XP on my desktop, but since I upgraded to Windows 7, it will not work. Please help me & thank you!

Hello

·        What is the operating system on your laptop Windows Vista or Windows 7)?

·        Where is the printer connected (to the desktop or the router)?

Check if the printer is already connected.

If Windows Vista installed on the laptop

(a) go to control panel

(b) select the printer and check to see if the printer is already listed. If so try to print a test page and check what is happening.

If Windows 7 is installed on the laptop

(a) go to devices and printers

(b) check if the printer is already listed. If so try to print a test page and check what is happening.

Hope this information is useful.
