sure you can! I am not familiar with the model, but you can set any computer as shared, the only exception is acrobat of course.\n\nTo do this, \nGo to Start, \nPrinters and faxes,\nfind the hp 5740 printer and right click it,\nclic on sharing,\nenable the "share this printer" option.\n\nthats it.

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

No.  i know of a business that has 7 computers hooked up to an inkjet printer.  HP advertises some of their inkjets/officejets to be print server compatable.

You can buy Printers which already are network ready or you can convert your printer to be a WIFI buy adding an adapter. YOu can even make it Bluetooth ready.\n\nThere are loads of hardware especially a  way could be buy one of those mini print servers attach it to your wireless router and the printer is then available to all in the workgroup

If you are connecting the printer for the first time install the software then, on the wired PC go into the control pannel and click on printers and faxes, right click on the icon of the priter toy want to share and click shareing.  A dialog box will appear, click on the shreing tab if it is not already selected, select share this printer and then click apply then okay.  You should then be able to print from both computers.

I think you will require "HP Jetdirect 380x 802.11b Wireless Print Server" \n\nIt comes with it's own HP JetDirect print server and the supplied software works for direct USB connectivity or network.

What the previous user said is only partially correct.\n\nIn order to view the shared printer, connect to the other computer that is doing the sharing.\n\nFirst, find out your other computer's "computer name" (the one sharing the printer). You can find this by right clicking My Computer and left clicking Properties. In XP, go to the tab labeled "Computer Name". Half way down it should have a "Computer Name" and then a name next to it. Copy that down. Go back to your laptop, make sure you'll connected to your network wirelessly, and then go to Start -> Run. In the text box type in this, "&#92;&#92;computer-name" where "computer-name" is your other computer's name. You should then have a window pop up that shows "Shared Docs" and hopefully your printer (or it'll say printers and faxes). Right click the printer and click "connect". It should install it for you.

The printer has to be shared first on the computer it is connected to. On the other computer in the net you have to choice: Start/Printers and Faxes. ‘Printer and faxes’ folder will appear. Double click on the ‘Add a printer’ link in left. ‘Add printer Wizard’ dialog box will appear now. In second step of the wizard select ‘A network printer, or printer attached to another computer’ checkbox. Then you have to proceed as you install printer on local machin.

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.

There are two solutions that you can choose from:\n\n1.  Port the printer to a desktop that is on your network and then share the printer.\n\n2.  Purchase a wireless print server... I've seen some available at Wal-Mart and Best Buy...

There are to methods... network printing and IP Printing.\n\nNetwork printing... hook up a printer to you router and follow the instructions that came with the router.\n\nIP printing... hook up a printer to a computer and install the drivers. go to Control Panel and click Printers and Faxes. Then right click on the printer that you want to be shared. And click Properties. then click the Sharing tab. say that you understand the risk. and enable the sharing. DO NOT USE THE WIZARD. IT SUCKS. once you are done setting up a shared printer on a computer find the IP address of that computer and remember it. go to another computer and open up the Printers and Faxes folder in the Control Panel. click Add a Printer and select Printer is a Network Printer and is Attached to Another Computer and click Next. now select the option to connect to a Printer Over the Internet. In the space provided, type in the IP address you wrote down. Then click Next. Install the drivers and your set! MAKE SURE BOTH COMPUTERS ARE ON DURING THESE PROCEDURES. YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. --> also... you can use this option for multiple computers by repeating the 2nd part of the procedure on the unchastized computer

You should try going to the HP website and downloading the driver for your particular printer. This will most likely be a .exe file. Of course, if you're using XP and you're connected through a USB port, it should do it on it's own. When in doubt, go to the website for your manufacturer.
