Is there anyway to update the printer database on Windows ME or is
there another way to set this printer up to be shared? As you can
see, I'm very limited in my computer knowledge.

Patti,

Have you tried clicking the Have Disk button when presented with the list
of printers?

I have just set up my laptop (Window ME) wirelessly to my desktop
(Windows XP) using a 2-wire modem. Everything is working fine -- I
can access the internet, etc. The problem I'm having is that I've
set up my printer which is attached to my desktop as shared, but the
printer driver is not listed in the ME database. I have installed
the printer to my laptop using the installation CD and USB cable and
that works fine. However, everytime I try to add a printer from the
network, the printer wizard opens with that pitiful list of old
printers.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
