wyantm06 Posted December 18, 2005 CID Share Posted December 18, 2005 If I have a Laptop that is wireless and my PC downstairs has the main modem and router, isn't there a way to set it up so I can print from my laptop and have it print out on the printer downstairs? Like a network somehow? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/9801-printing-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 18, 2005 CID Share Posted December 18, 2005 Your gonna need to hook up the printer to the downstairs pc and share the printer. Like right click, properties, sharing... Then on the laptop go to control panel, printers, add printer, network printer, browse for, click on your printer and install the printer. Note:To print from your laptop both the printer and pc will have to be on, and the computer will at least have to be to the xp login screen.

richcornucopia Posted December 18, 2005 CID Share Posted December 18, 2005 Get on the pc and go to printer and faxes under the control panel. Right click it, sharing, and then click share this printer and enter a name. Then follow these steps on the laptop go to control panel, printers, add printer, network printer, browse for, click on your printer and install the printer.
