printer networking
Just wondering if anyone can help me. I have just set up a wireless network with a WRT54GSUK router and a WUB54GSUK wireless adapter for my laptop. Now I want to use the printer that is installed on the desktop pc in my office on my laptop in the living room.
How do I go about this as I have no idea and it's driving me slowly insane.
Thanks in advanve for the help guy's and girls.

Re: printer networking
start printers and faxes click on default printer and select share,yes you understand then just allow and name printer. On client start printers and faxes add printer/next/network printer and browse for it you may need to install a driver

Re: printer networking
I can see the printer, but by the printer icon it is "unable to connect".
