Are you getting any error while trying to add a Network printer to Windows 7?
If yes please get back to us with the error message.
However we can try these steps

• First of all check the computer name on the XP computers (Host computers) and the Printer name as well.
• Now come to the windows 7 computer and click Start , go to Control Panel- > Printers- > Add printer- > Add a local printer- > Click on ‘Create a new port’- > ‘Local Port’ > ‘Next’.
• Put the port name as \\Computer name\printer name, click on ok.
• Now we will get the add new hardware wizard so follow the wizard and install the Network printer.


• Else you can also run the Add new Printer wizard and connect the Printer through the IP address.
• Windows will ask you for the type of Network card in the Printer.
• Once it is installed and recognized it will ask you for the Printer name.
• Put the Printer name and finish the wizard
• Go to the Printer properties and click the ports TAB
• Click the port which was created by the Printer Ip address
• Click on configure port
• Be sure Printer should be marked as raw.
