My wife and I have a small home network and we share a printer. However, after my laptop got virused, I cannot print. How do I get back to where we can share this printer?

Did you completely uninstall the printer from both computers, then re-install? (it's a pain, I know)
Are you using a print server? Or is the printer connected to one of the computers? Or is the printer network-compatible, and simply connected to the router? -
Printer is connected to the main PC on the network

I assume it was some kind of conflict.
I would suggest that you do the same thing. It is amazing how many times over the years that the scanner drivers have caused problems. -
What printers are defined on your laptop?
-
Pardon an obvious question, that's probably insulting your intelligence - but you might also want to make sure that your main PC still has printer sharing enabled.
If you've already done that, then what GB suggested would be the next step I'd take. -
delete and reinstall
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer on your laptop? -
tried that. Sharing is still enabled.

Tom, when you go into Network Places, do you see the printer?
Still thinking about this one....
