| 403558 | 2005-11-11 17:38:00 | HI, I got a Desktop PC in one room and a Laptop in another. I have got a printer connected to the Desktop PC and I want to share it with my Laptop over wireless networking, btw, my Laptop and Desktop is connected through a Network. My Laptop has got wireless built in and I have got a wireless router. All I need to know is how to set up the printer so that it is shared between the Computers so that my Laptop will also be able to use the priter in the other room. Any help plz? Thnx :thumbs: |

Then add the printer on the laptop as speedy mentioned. Depending upon your OS and what printer you have, you may be asked to install the drivers on the laptop as well. |
