How do I connect my laptop to my printer? -
Is your printer shared via the other PC? Do you have it installed on another PC? If you have it setup on another PC you ll need to share it to allow your Laptop access and they should both be on the same Network/Domain/Workgroup. Right click on the printer installed on your other PC left click on sharing (depends on what O/S you are using) click the Share this printer and give it a name. Apply. On your Laptop browse your Network for your PC... you can do it via the IP address if you like or by the name or by the Browse for Printer option when installing a new printer. Double click on it to install if your not using the Printer install Wizard. You may need to download the drivers to your Laptop if it is Vista (also check Network discovery is turned on in your Control Panel - Network) Is the printer USB? If so connect it via a USB cable.
If the printer has a USB cable, install the printer software from the cd or download it from the manufacturers website. Then finally connect the printer using the cable when it asks or when the installation is finished.

In my opinion, sometimes canon printers have a Software disc just for this called a "networked printer setup" might look into the Software that came with the printer. So you can connect it normally.
Thanks.
