Need some help with wireless printing...
How can I print from my laptop to my printer connected to my desktop? What do I need to buy to do this? I have a desktop computer hooked up with a printer (4-in-one machine) and now that I use my laptop 99% of the time, I want to be able to print from my laptop to my printer (wireless of course). Please help, and post a link if you can.
TIA.

I have 2 in the house, one is a HP all in one inkjet (I think its a 2100 model) and the other is a laserjet, also HP.

I've used the Linksys Wireless Print Server before without issues.

Re: Need some help with wireless printing...
is the desktop machine always on?
if so, configure printer shareing
(On desktop)
Right click on the printer you wish to share and select properties
Click on shareing
check share this printer and give it a simple name (HP)
Hit apply, ok, close the box....
(On the laptop)
On control panel, select printer and faxes, on the left shortcut menu, select add a printer
hit next, then choose box for a network printer
click browse..
you should see the computer name of the desktop machine with a printer under it. (you may need to click + signs to branch out the tree)...once you selected (HP) hit next and then follow the instructions (default printer, print test page)
Your done...
If the printer is not always on, you need to buy a wireless print device to hook up to printer...
Let me know how it works
