How do i print wireless from my laptop to my printer? -

I have a printer that is connected to my desktop pc. But i also want to connect my laptop to the printer but without any wires. I want to print documents while i am in my bedroom but they should print in my office, where my desktop and printer is located. What do i have to buy? and how do i Install it? Thank You.

the easiest way to print wirelessly from laptop to printer is to have a wifi connection available in your home and then have a wi-fi enabled printer. when you hit print the laptop sniffs out the wifi printer and prints accordingly. the lexmark x4690 is less than a $100, installs in a few minutes and can also print good looking 4x6 photos- all wirelessly and all very easily. cartridges are about $20 hp printers are harder to install because their wifi connection is unreliable (doesn t find the connection all the time) and the set-up itself is very difficult. also hp bundles a lot of unecessary software that it downloads automatically (cartridges are about $35) if you have an exisiting printer that is not wifi enabled there are work arounds like a usb dongle and software you can buy to quot;trickquot; the printer to work wirelessly but it s more trouble than it s worth g luck

I tend to think you have a wireless intenet connection. If your wireless router or whatever you use is by the printer and the printer is right, you can connect the printer to the router via an ethernet cable. Connecting it will send the printer availability to your laptop, and it should recognize it as a connected printer. Some printers (like mine) don t have an ethernet port, though. If this is the case, it can t be done unless you get a new printer.

The CORRECT answer is to make sure both your laptop and the desktop computer that has the printer connected to it are in the same workgroup. You can check this by right clicking My Computer and going to properties. If they differ, just make them the same. Then, open up Printers on your desktop computer, right click the printer in question, and select Sharing. Give it a nice short share name. You can then select Print from your laptop and browse your home network to that printer. You can only plug the printer in to your wireless router with an ethernet cable if the printer is network ready, and I really doubt this is the case. Buying a wireless network printer is usually cheaper than buying one with an ethernet port. If yours were wireless already, you wouldn t be asking this question : -)

Many answers. I think maybe you have already got that. good luck http://www.toboc.com/forum3/default.aspx…
