How do I wirelessly add a printer to a Macbook? -

My Macbook is wirelessly connected to my wireless router. The Main desktop is connected to the router and has an HP 3100 Printer (i think). How do I make it so that I can wirelessly print from staying connected to the wireless router?

How to manually add a Windows shared printer 1. Open Printer Setup Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities). 2. Mac OS X 10.4.x users: Choose Add Printer from the Printers menu, then hold the Option key while clicking the quot;More Printersquot; button. Mac OS X 10.3.x users: Hold the Option key down while choosing Add Printer from the Printers menu. 3. Choose Advanced from the first pop-up menu. 4. Choose Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device pop-up menu. 5. In the Device Name field, type the name you would like to use for this printer in Mac OS X. 6. In the Device URI field, use one of the following formats to link to the printer: smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sha… smb://user:password@server/sharename smb://workgroup/server/sharename smb://server/sharename Notes: quot;userquot; is the name of a Windows user who has privileges to use the printer. quot;passwordquot; is the password of that Windows user. quot;workgroupquot; is the name of the Windows workgroup to which the computer sharing the printer belongs. quot;serverquot; is the name of the computer sharing the printer or its IP address. quot;sharenamequot; is the shared Windows printer s share name. Tip: You don t need a quot;workgroupquot; when specifying the IP address of the computer (such as when the printer is on a different subnet), or if your Mac belongs to the same Windows (SMB) workgroup. 7. Choose the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the Printer Model pop-up menu. 8. Click Add.
