Add Printer Wizard doesn't find printers

Hi, I work in a small office envinronment, we have two printers connected to
different computers. We also have 4-5 laptops, (wireless) previously I have
run the add printer wizard on laptops and it finds a list of the printers
here and I'm able to get them printing.
However, I have a new laptop now and the wizard isn't finding the printers
at all, I just get Microsoft Windows Network instead of the list...nothing
has changed since the last time I had to add a printer to a laptop. I have
done basic troubleshooting, made sure workgroup name is correct etc...I don't
know what to try next.
would appreciate any help
thanks

Try:

1. Run the Add Printer wizard again. Instead of browsing for the printer,
simply enter: \\servername\sharedprintername.

2. If #1 doesn't work, use \\IPaddressofServer\sharedprintername
