connecting pc to network on mac

i have a pc laptop that i had connected to network through mac desktop and for whatever reason it's not working.

i uninstalled printer from pc and now i can't figure out how to get it hooked up again. guess i should have written it down. ...

here are my steps:

1.HP printer is working on mac and the sharing button is toggled on.

2. I can see the network computer (mac) from my PC laptop

3. I go to add printer on pc / add a network printer tab and the search comes up with nothing. i'm pretty sure i was seeing all my printers before

4. i then toggle the Select a shared printer by name option and type in \\owensmac\laserjet and I get the big red X connect to printer.

i'm guessing the address is wrong. I renamed the printer laserjet on the mac.


any help would be welcome.

thanks

Owen
