How do i hook my laptop up to my desktops printer wirelessly while it still being fine on desktop? -

What do i need etc?

All the function of a router.

Once you set up a network via wireless router or wired cables, go into the printer s properties using your desktop (Start - Printers and Faxes - Right Click the printer - properties). Then, find the tab that says quot;sharingquot; click it and check the box that says quot;Share this printer on the networkquot; or something along those lines. Then add a network name to it, it should be something simple like quot;Canon6.quot; Now, the printer is shared. Next, log onto the laptop and go into the printer dialog the same way as you did above. But when the box opens, click quot;Add Printerquot; then, follow the steps by clicking on quot;I want to add a network printerquot; and in the little white box, type quot;Canon6quot; or whatever you named it. You may need to enter it like this if it doesn t recognize it: quot;Host//Canon6quot; Host would be the name of the desktop such as quot;Jonesquot; or something. Hope this helped.
