Windows Vista Does Not See Printer on Wireless LAN

[1D4LV]

i am getting a bit frustrated in this, baka mayroon sa inyo na naka-encounter na ng ganito...

I am trying to setup my Windows Vista notebook to print via wifi to a printer connected by USB to a tower PC. My Vista notebook cannot see the tower, although another tower connected by ethernet cable to the wifi router does see the printer PC and can print via print sharing. My laptop can also see other computers that are connected within the Wireless Router, except for those computers which are connected via ethernet cable.

My Vista notebook as well as the tower pc in which the printer is connected to has Print Sharing enabled and Password disabled. When I go to Add Printer, the printer which is connected to the Tower PC is not seen as available on the LAN. Both the Windows firewall on the tower printer-PC as well as a third-party firewall have been disabled.

I.P. address used is DHCP for both the tower PC as well as on my laptop.

Can anyone help and share insights? thanks.
