Can't connect to a printer on a network

Hullo, I have a Dell AIO printer 926 on my Desktop windows XP, and it's set up for sharing. I am now trying to get my laptop with Vista to be able to use the remote printer. Both my pc's are set up for networking. When I use the installation cd on the laptop, I choose the Network Installation, I have McAfee firewall turned off on both pcs, but the printer doesn't show up under Network Installation, and when I choose Manual Add, I add the remote pc's name and printer name it says that Setup could not connect to the remote pc.

 

I can't choose the option on Vista, to Add A Printer because it says ' windows Can't open Add Printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the sp;ooler or restart the machine.'

 

Help please?

 

 

 

I'm sorry, I figured it all out and it works now.  I do apologize for wasting your time. Thanks
