The HP was installed before. It started giving trouble because sth. was wrong with the system pooler, so I uninstalled it and deleted the drivers as well.
Now I follow the path through “add a printer” I have tried browsing it and writing the name of the printer but it doesn’t work. I reach the path as far as: “Microsoft windows network” but even if I click on it, it starts thinking and then does nothing. Off course, when I click next It says “you need to specify a valid network printer name”. Somebody help me out PLEAAAAAASSSE?

If there is more than one printer model listed, or more than one listing for the same printer model, if the wrong listing is the default one, if you want the computer(s) the printer is not directly connected to, to be able to print from the printer, you need to RIGHT click on the correct printer model that does NOT have a checkmark in a circle beside it,. and choose Set as Default Printer.
Windows retains the printers listed in Printers and Faxes, even if the listing is no longer valid. If there is more than one printer model listed, or more than one listing for the same printer model, some of the listings may not be valid. When you RIGHT click on the listing – Properties – Print test page – if the printer does not print, it’s not a valid listing, or the printer is not presently connected such that the computer can detect it (e.g. the printer is directly connected to another computer in a local network but the computer it is connected to is not running).
You can delete the invalid printer listings individually, or if the printer IS Plug-n-Play detectable, you can delete all the printers listed, or all the printers listed you’re not sure about, Restart Windows, then, eventually in the case of a printer not directly connected to the computer, only the valid listings will appear in Printers and Faxes.
