I would like to print files from my wireless laptop to my
home PC. I have purchased a Linksys router and have setup
my home network. Do I need to purchase another piece of
equiptment? Or can I just send the file to my printer
somehow?

Hi Pat
No don't buy anything, you should be all set.
Before setting up sharing on the printer, be sure you have
the latest printer drivers installed.
For reference, see this link (sorry about the popups)

On your home PC, mark the printer to be shared. On your laptop,
add a printer -- a network printer. As a prerequisite, you
must have network software set up, usually: TCP/IP, NetBIOS
over TCP/IP, Client for M$ Networking, and F&P sharing. Most
of the time, that is enough and it all works; if that does not
suffice, describe your problems here.
