Do you have any firewall software running on the computer to which the printer is directly connected? If so, you need to configure the firewall to allow local network access.
I can't believe I didn't do the Firewall first. I had assumed I was using the Windows Firewall, so I didn't bother to check it, but after trying all afternoon yesterday to figure out why it wouldn't work, I decided to try your suggestion anyway, and I have McAfee firewall.
Now it works perfectly fine, so thank you very much:smileyvery-happy:
