Did you install bonjour for windows? That is essential to get this going.

G'day to you!


Thank you for your feedback. I did re-install Bonjour for Windows but it still doesn't work over the network. I can plug it in with a USB cacle and it works fine.


Honestly I think it is the way the laptop is set up. It's for my husband's work and he connects remotely at times. The gentleman that did it made it so hard to use. Calling in a professional to come look at it in person.


Thanks again!
