Devices and printers not showing anything

I did a recent upgrade to my computer and re-installed Win 7. I was wanting to print from my Wife's computer (also win7) to my printer and it didn't work. I then went to devices and printers (on my computer)to make sure I shared my printer but after about five minutes of searching, there were no devices showing up.
How do I get then to show up in printers and devices?

I can print from my printer, but it doesn't show up

See if "Bluetooth" service has started.

Start | Type msconfig in search

Double click msconfig upper pane

Go to "Services TAB" see if Bluetooth is checked, if not check it and hit apply. Reboot...
