How can I wirelessly network two computers to the same printer? -

I m assuming the software for said printer has to be on both computers, but where do I go from there?

you can get a wireless printer router, there not very expensive and work well. or you can hook it up to one computer ans share it across the network. I personally have the hawking one cause we don t have any space around a computer to put the printer. http://www.nextag.com/wireless-router-pr…

Generally, there are two ways: 1. Have the printer physically attached to one computer and set it up for Microsoft File and Printer Sharing. 2. Set up the printer as an independent node on your network. Some printers come with the hardware and software for this built in, but it s also possible to buy a box that is, essentially, a computer with the sole function of serving the printer or printers. Hope that helps.

If your printer has a NIC card, you can use a wireless router to connect to the printer. Then you can just install the drivers on each of the computers and set it up as a wireless network through that router. If the printer does not have a nic, then you can get a separate print server and follow the directions they give you to set this up. Another option that works, and I use, is to take an old computer (like a PII or something you would not actually use) strip it down to bare bones, and install the printer on it. Connect that printer to a wireless router with a Static IP. then wireless network into it sharing the printer out on that old computer. That is the cheap yet useful way to do it. Good luck!

I am assuming your printer is attached to at least one PC. Okay on that PC goto control panel gt; printers and fax. Now right click on the printer find sharing - allow sharing. On your other PC that is connected wirelessly goto control panel and add a printer - browse to the printer that should now be showing on your network. The software will load across your network. Keep smiling.

The printer would need to be connected to the network somehow (i.e. being connected directly to your router or switch), or it would need to be connected to one of the computers and shared out so the other computer could see it. Also, in the first scenario, you would need to ensure that the printer is network capable (i.e. has a port for a network connection). The last way would be if the printer supports Bluetooth. Then you could connect a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter and then pair the printer with the computers.
