Cannot Add Network Printer - Part 1

The other day I was facing a problem that I cannot add a new network printer. I am using Window Vista 32 bit. I have tried to add a printer by browsing for network printer. It just does not shows the printer list at all. Then I realise the problem. My network workgroup has been set to a wrong workgroup. After I change my workgroup to the right one then the printer list show up nicely.

To change the workgroup setting:

1. Access the System from Control Panel.

2. Scroll down to display the Computer name, domain and workgroup settings.

3. Click on the Change settings.

4. Click on the Computer name tab and change the Workgroup name.

5. Restart the computer for the new settings to take effect.
