Can I use one printer on a wireless network at home? -

I use a Linksys cable modem / wireless router, serving three different computers in my home. How can I use one printer for all three computers, using the router (if at all possible)? Thanks for your help.

If your wireless router has CAT5 RJ45 ports lt;ethernetgt; and your printer has a card in it, you can use it as a member of your LAN. However, doing it wirelessly? You need a printer with a wireless ethernet card.

two options- pay for a wireless/wired printer server that gives your printer an IP address on your network ($50-100 dollars is my guess) or have one hub PC that s always on with the printer attached to it. Enable File and printer sharing across the network and make sure the other PCs on the network can quot;seequot; this central PC. Search microsoft help or online to get the settings right. Once they can you can install a network printer (from the hub PC) on the two other PCs. This will work perfectly. Downsides: network sharing is a security risk so make sure you know what your doing amp; the main PC has to be on (and signed in) for the printer to get the files. I use this at here with a laptop and two other PCs so it definately will work.

Yes you can if you set it up right and you keep it on all the time. If you have windows XP, click on help ant type quot;Sharing printer and follow instructions.

My printer was wireless and I put it up on the network and we use it for 3 home computers and for our regular visitors.. Works fine. But I do recommend removing the original driver and then re-installing for wireless.

is it a network capable printer? just plug a patch cord from the router into the ethernet port on the printer. if not, linksys has a wireless print server available that will connect your printer to the network. if not an option, turn on file and print sharing on the computer that has the printer hooked up to it then share the printer with the others on the network.
