All my workstations are connected to a domain and I've installed an HP printer to one of the workstations and now I would like to share it between all computers.
Under the workstation, I right clicked the printer, sharing, share this printer and checked the list in the directory.
However, on the other computers when I go to network printer and I search for it I can NOT find it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Did you try....
Did you try entering the printer manually using the \\ format (i.e. \\dell8100\hp4100) instead of browsing?

\\ComputerName\NADPRN where "ComputerName" is the name given to the computer which you can find by right-clicking My Computer and selecting the Computer Name tab.

I kind of figured it out but wanted to be sure. I've tried it with no luck.
Thanks for all your help anyway.
I'll keep looking

try accesing the computer with the printer from the network, then right click on the printer icon and click connect.

if you have publish the printer in to the AD Active Directory some times you must wait for 15 to 30 minutes until the AD replication finish .

I did wait more than few hours...
The printer is connected to a workstation that is on the domain and from that workstation I shared the printer and check add to list but when I go to another workstation and i search for it I can not see it
I always log in as administration also.

You will find the printer if you name the workstation in the path.
\\ws12345\prn123
\\ws12345\prn123

more detail
if the workstation is an win xp sp2 check the fire wall on exceptions if the check on "common use files and printers" is enable .
also and on network connections .
and when you choose printer from the AD select the specific domain from the locations and not from "all directory"
what OS server you have ? and what OS on workstations ?

I typed \\computername and pressed enter from an Explorer window and it worked! Even though I still find it when I search it under add printer!
Maybe this will help someone else
