Enabling "network discovery" on PC

I have a Windows 7  home premium 64 bit, Hp laptop Dv6,
How do you enable  "network discovery"? I'm having trouble with a Canon PIXMA  MX850 wireless networking printer being recognized by my  PC laptops- no problem with the Mac's. I have updated drivers 3 times and the problem persists.
Thank you in advance for your knowledge and effort.
