Setting up the printer is not the same as using it. I can show up on
Jennifer Anniston's doorstep with a breath mint and a corsage but that
doesn't mean I have a date. :) Windows doesn't know if you have a viable
printer to print to until it tries to print. Have it send a test document
to that printer you just set up on B and you'll find the same result.
