Does my printer have to be wired to a computer to be able to print with any computer that uses the router? -

I have a router that is not hooked up to any other computer via wire. Every computer running off it is via wireless. I don t exactly know how to use the printer through any computer not hooked directly to it, but I know its possible because a friend of mine did it back at my old house.

there could be two ways depending on the printer - many routers also have a USB port so you can plug a printer in - but if not connect it to your computer - goto control panel - printers - right click properties and sharing and share it - now from one of your other computers - start menu run - enter \\name of computer sharing printer now you will see the printer - double click to install it - you ll have to ensure the computer sharing the printer is on whenever you wish to print

set up wireless same way to share a printer, only snag the pc that has the printer connected has to be on when printing from another PC
