Have had a home network for about 1.5 years, and haven't had a problem at all.

I have a Samsung ML-2010 printer hooked up to my PC, and the wife had Mac OSX 10.3.9. I was able to find the printer on her computer, so she could simply print straight from her computer, and assuming my computer and printer are on, it would print straight away.

About a week ago she updated to 10.5.6 (Leopard), and it completely wiped out the printer drivers/network. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal, but I have worked on it for the past two hours and cannot find anything that will solve the problem.

I've googled every combination of words I can think of for this problem, and basically all of them point to while adding the printer on the mac, if I click on the "Windows" tab it should show the printer. It does not. It doesn't show the workgroup name, it doesn't show my computer, it is just blank. I have let it sit for about 2-3 minutes because it almost appears as if it is trying to locate other computers, but nothing happens.

Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out over this one.

Here's an example of the "solution" I am finding, yet it's not working for me

Photograph your screen, then walk over to the PC.

Is the workgroup name still correct on the Mac?
