Got a wireless laptop upstairs, and want to get my printer downstairs (connected to the wireless router through my PC, which is connected through an ethernet cable) to print off work from the laptop upstairs.
Just to clarify, do you have a router with a built in print server to which you have connected the printer? in which case, what are the make and model of router and printer?
Or is the printer connected to the pc downstairs. In which case, are you using Windows XP? Is file and printer sharing turned on? have you installed the printer drivers on the laptop?
When i attempt to install the network through my windows xp cd, a list connections come up, eg ethernet and a load of jargon, telling me manufacturer of the drive etc, but the wireless card which works for internet is not displayed!
Does this therefore mean that i cannot use the wireless for my network carrier?
