Hello, I have a desktop computer and a laptop, I want to set up the printer for sharing with the comp and the laptop for wireless printing for my laptop, I was wondering how I did this??? , They're are both on Vista Home Premium 32 bit , Bothe the pc and the laptop are wirelessly conected to my bt broadband hub.Printer Sharing Network..???
if you have connected the printer via USB or Parallel port to the desktop or as the first post said wireless enabled on printer.. if printer is directly connected to the desktop, then just share the printer... and also make sure that you have file and printer sharing option is set (in both desktop and laptop)...access the desktop from your laptop and select the shared printer and print...Printer Sharing Network..???
The printer needs to be a wirelessly enabled printer. If it is then you should be able to add the printer to both of the computers using the add printer wizard.
If your wireless router has a printer port, you should be able to enable printer sharing through the router and connect the printer directly to the router.
OR
You can connect and install the printer to/on the desktop computer. The desktop computer will have to be set to file and printer sharing. Also, the desktop printer has to be on (not necessarily logged in) whenever you are printing from the laptop.
Good Luck
