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.:)

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 :)

Well I tried this last night but no luck:( . What happens is on the laptop I get an error that states " The print spooler has not been started". Any Ideas????

Re: printer networking
 

Can you see the printer from the laptop?

Re: printer networking
 

I'd guess he can but only if the laptop is in the same room as the printer hehehehe

Re: printer networking
 

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

You may want to start over again, and use either of these guides to help you set up your printer..........
