I'm assuming the server is turned on, as well as the printer. If that
is so, try deleting the printer from the remote computer, then go into
"my network" and try to establish the connection to the printer again.

A few thoughts:
- Delete the printer on the client computer, and then reinstall it.
- Sometimes these things can happen because the host computer (server)
has a firewall like Zonealarm. Try closing the firewall, or change
its settings to allow your computer in all of the time. Firewalls can
do funny things.
- Check to make sure nobody has turned off printer sharing on the
host.
- It can take up to 35 minutes for a computer or device to be
recognized in some versions of Windows. I had the same problem once,
but after leaving the computers on overnight, all was OK and has
remained that way. Sometimes turning all the computers off and
rebooting them helps.
