Cannot connect to network printer-NIS 2011, W7 laptop, XP desktop w/printer

Trying to setup network printing. esktop running XP with printer attached. Laptop running W7. have been through all the workgroup stuff. Router is a Linksys. On the router map, both wireless computers appear. The printer appears under the desktop tab on the map. test page prints OK from the desktop w/printer attached. When I add printer to laptop W7, all gioes well except test page returns print error. I have tried using IP address and everything else. Wondering if the NIS Firewall is preventing the pass through of data to the networked printer. Any help would be appreciated. Have followed all the normal W7 stuff. Thanks in advance...Howard
