can't print to shared c4640 from network.

     I have a c4640 connected by usb to a windows 7 x64 machine and can't print to it from any computer on my network (one is a vista 32 bit and one is windows 7 x64).  The networked computers don't show the printer in the add printers list, but it is listed with the shared folders of the host computer.  I can add the printer from the hosts list of shared items and it appears to install correctly.  When I try to print from the windows 7 machine, the first time it goes to the queue and after about 20 seconds it leaves the queue, but nothing prints.  If I try to print again it doesn't even go into the queue.  When I try from the vista machine it says test page failed to print.  I have tried turning off my firewall, installing and re-installing the drivers, and adding the printer manually with no help.
