By "network" you do mean your computer, not your workgroup or domain,
no? Because the UNC (universal naming convention, IIRC) of the
computer is what should be there. Another point is that if it or the
printer name has spaces, it will need to be enclosed in quotation
marks. And the printer needs to be declared Shared. And for that, you
need to have a network interface in the PC (recall that a week or so
ago a member had a PC that--to my utter consternation--lacked one) and
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks has to be enabled for
the NIC.
