I've been struggling at this problem for ages and hopefully someone can help me, I will try to be describe what I need to do as much as possible

In this office there are 2 computers
1 has Windows 7 64Bit (Has 2 printers connected to it WIRED)
The other has Windows XP SP3 Professional (Trying to connect a printer wirelessely)
Both are connected to the wireless network that the office offers

I am able to share files fine between the two computers

The problem arises when I try to add a HP Laserjet Printer 3030 printer in the Windows XP computer (Wireless)

I've tried the following methods

Manual connnect
entering the computer name and printer name in the correct format
but it always tells me windows cannot find the suitable drivers.. please contact your system adminstrator, it also allows me to browse for the drivers
Yes I have enabled the printer to be shared on the Win 7 computer

Installing the drivers
I went on the HP website and installed the drivers for windows XP for the printer
and tried to connect but again I get the same problem
Then I tried to browse for the drivers using the add printer utility,
again I get the same error message

I do believe this is a very old printer but it should work
and I was told by someone I might need a hotfix?
Hope someone can help
Thanks
