How Can i share my printer through a wireless network and both computers have different os? -

My laptop has vista and my home computer has xp

you can go the print server route but you can also hard-wire the printer to your home computer... even though your OSes are different, they re still microsoft. if your two computers were on Apple and Windows, the print server would be your only option. What you would do is set up the printer on your home computer and share it. start-printer and faxes... right click on the installed printer and choose sharing.

you sure can, you can even buy a wireless print server. so you dont have to setup print sharing and leave the other computer on.

Well, you can by what they call a quot;print serverquot;, its a 40 dollar piece of equipment that makes your printer part of the network, or you can hook your printer up to one computer and share it. The other computer will have to join the quot;workgroupquot; and should be able to see the printer. (After you add new printer) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using…
