sharing printer in a wireless connection
Posted: 09-16-2003, 01:46 PM
Hi, charly -

I think we need a bit more information. Can you tell us
what kind of errors you get when you try to share the
printer? I have a printer shared on a wireless network
that seems to work just fine - without a little bit more
information I'm not sure I can be much help.

thanks -

Did you install the printer on your other machine? Even though it's
attached to one XP machine it needs to be "installed" on the other
machines.

1. open "Control Panel"
2. open "Printers and Faxes"
3. open "Add a printer"
4. Run the wizard to install your networked printer.

This process needs to happen on all networked machines that you want to
access the printer.
