I have already added my new Photosmart 7525 printer to my home network. It is installed via USB with the full HP 7525 software (downloaded from HP) to my HP desktop which is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and I've shared the printer from the desktop. I want to access the same printer from my laptop which is connected to my network via wireless(N) router. The laptop is running Windows 7 Home premium 32bit. On the laptop in Windows, when I click to "add network printer" it "sees" the 7525 printer which is shared from the desktop PC, and it also "sees" 2 iterations of the 7525 that are network-connected to the network (I used the printer's control panel to add the 7525 to the wireless network connect prior to ever hooking the printer to any PC). So in Windows when I click to "add" my printer to the laptop, it pops a window that asks me to select my printer model from the list of HP printers listed in the drop-down (it is looking to add the printer driver(s), I think). My Photosmart 7525 is not listed. The Photosmart 7500 series of printers is also not listed - even when I refresh the Windows dropdown printer list using the Windows Update option. So what should I do - download and install the full Photosmart 7525 software and then add the 7525?
