sharing printer in xp
in [Network and Web]
|
From: sbelgard on 16 Mar 2010 03:21 I have a desktop with printer installed on it. Prints fine when connected through desktop. I want to use this printer wirelessly through my NetGear wireless router. When i go to add the printer, the wizard does not find the network. Any ideas on how to get me started and what i need to look for to make the Desktop visible to the wireless laptop to print. I had this connected once before, but lost my connection and ability to see it when I changed from a Linksys router (G) to a Netgear router(N). Both computers are running Windows Xp. I also have 2 other laptops that run Vista. Would like to be able to print from those also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sonya

From: sbelgard on 19 Mar 2010 15:01 Bob, I turned off windows xp firewall on both desktop and laptop. Can ping each IP address including that of the router that I am using to connect to wirelessly. When I go to add the printer it finds "Microsoft Windows Network" but no connected printers. I have verified that both computers are in the same workgroup. They are in MSHOME. The printer I want to use is also shared. I am not comfortable with leaving the Windows firewall turned off. Any suggestions?
