if i get you... you want to be able to be able to print from your desktop pc. From the desktop pc you right click on the printer and select sharing. and confirm the name you want the sharing to bear. then on the other pc (laptop) you go to start>settings>printers.. click on install printer and choose "network printer" if you have an already existing network you should be able to locate the shared printer on the desktop. choose it and go thru the wizard. with that you should be able to share your printer installed on the desktop on your laptop. Any other question is welcomed.

The only way I can think of is following:\n\n- Share your USB Printer \n- Use the network resource and attach it to a LPTx port ( u can do this with "NET USE LPTx &#92;&#92;your_pc_name&#92;USBP" where LPTx is the port u want to use (ie Lpt1) \n- Happy printing....

Assuming that the printer is connected to a desktop workstation, it needs to be shared before the laptop can use it. If you're running Microsoft operating systems, you'll also want both the desktop and the laptop in the same workgroup.\n\nAssuming you're using Windows XP...\n\nTo share the printer, right-click on the printer icon and select the "Sharing" tab. Click the "Share this printer" radio button and give the printer a share name. If you're running any Windows operating systems older than Windows 2000, keep the share name under 15 characters and don't use spaces.\n\nTo ensure both computers are in the same workgroup, open the Network Connections applet and select the "Advanced" menu. Select "Network Identification..." and click the "Change" button on the "Computer Name" tab of the System Properties window that opens up. Ensure the "Workgroup" radio button is selected in the "Member Of" box, then enter a workgroup name (15 characters or less). Click "OK" until all windows are closed and reboot the computer. Repeat the process on the other computer.\n\nOnce both computers are in the same workgroup and the printer is shared, you should be able to add a networked printer simply by using the "Add Printer..." wizard. Good luck!

1- Did you installe the Driver printer?\n2- Does your printer connected to your PC?\n3- Is the printer on?\n4- Does printer have papers in the tray?\n5- Is your printer that you want to print with is the default printer in the list of your printers?

You might try visiting the website for the manufacturer of your printer, download the driver for your particular printer, and install it.

Can you print a demo page from the printer? That is always the best first step in diagnosing a printer problem! If you can, you know the printer will print, so we can move on to the connections.\n\nEnsure your connections are sound. Unplug and reattatch all your cables, including your power cable. (If you can't shut off your Printer using its own power button, that may signal that there is a serious problem with the printer.) OK, once all the cables are back in place, try to print again. NOTHING?\n\nNext, uninstall and reinstall your printer. Ensure that you completly uninstall your printer from your PC, don't just update the drivers. The installed drivers may be corrupt. Also, if you allow windows to reinstall the drivers and the printer continues to have the same issue, you may need to download a new driver from the manufacturers web site. If the windows version of the driver didn't work, uninstall and reinstall using this downloaded driver instead.\n\nIf that doesn't work...here is where can get pricey!\n\nFirst, if you have a friend with a accessable PC, take your printer there, hook it up as you would at home and see what happens. If it has the same issue there, then you have narrowed down the problem to being either the printer or the cable connecting the printer to the PC.\n\nSecond step would be to replace the printer cable. (Mind you, this may not be your issue, it could still be the printer and you may waste your money) A good solution is if that same friend uses the same type of cable you do, use that one and see if your printer works. If none of that works, it is time to put that printer out to pasture and buy a new one!

You need a wireless router.  Generally, it goes between the broadband modem and the main computer.  However, it has wireless which can support any number of laptops and WiFi printers.  They also usually have multiple 100baseT ports so that you can plug in more than one main computer.

Remove all cables.\nPower down/SHUT OFF both your PC and Printer.\n\nRe-connect power cables. \nRe-connect printer cable to pc.\nMake sure all cables are plugged-in properly and are snugly-fit.\n\nTurn on Printer FIRST.\nThen Turn On PC.\n\nHope this works.\nGOOD LUCK!

you need two things...maybe 3...\n\na wireless card for your laptop\na WAP (wireless access point)\n\nand someway to connect your printer...usually a print server but it could be shared by a PC...\n\ncheck with your local computer store - circuit city, best buy...whatever.  the directions will help with everything except maybe the printer - if it connected to a PC...but you can ask another question for that one!!!\n\ngood luck

Have you checked for printer and file aharing to be activated when you set up the network?\n\nIt could also otherwise be a firewall issue.\n\nTry the printer sharing thing. it should work

It's easy to find this in two units, but I haven't found a 1 unit in any of the major brands yet.  If your printer is wireless, you may want to go with a wireless switch & print server, and just plug it into your router. \nA quick search on wireless print servers turned up  Netgear WGPS606    D-Link DP-G310  and   Belkin F1UP0001    Most of them get medium ratings, instead of 5 stars, largely because they don't work with every printer out there, so check before you buy.

Assuming you have either DSL or Cable,  then it's the same way you'd connect your desktop computer. You'd connect through an ethernet RJ-45 connector or possibly through a USB  2.0 connector, whick requires an adapter.\n\nYou may be able to connect wirelessly as well, but you'd need a wireless card, an access point or a wireless router

You can probably get an adapter. If you go on the web site of the printer brand, they might sell it... or go to a computer store like Frys, and they will most likely have a USB to Parallel port adapter.
