How do I share a printer on a wireless network? -

How do i setup my printer on a wireless network. printer does not have bluetooth or anything like that. I know it can be done but cant figure it out. any tips or how to advise would help.

You could get a wireless print server. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/… Then you can set your printer anywhere in range of your wireless router. As long as the router is on, the printer is on, and the wireless print server is on...you will be able to print from any computer that is on the LAN. Another option is to connect it physically to a computer that is on the LAN. For instance, connect it to your desktop using the USB cable. Get it set up so that it prints. Then go to control panel, printers and faxes. Right click on the printer and choose Sharing....then choose to quot;share this printerquot;. Give it an easy share name to remember. The best thing to do is put all the computers on your LAN in the same workgroup. Go to control panel, system, computer name. Make sure all the computers have the same workgroup name. If they don t change them and reboot. It just makes it easier to browse for the shares. On the computer that has the printer attached go to control panel and click on windows firewall. Click the exceptions tab and make sure that File and Print Sharing has a check in it. Then ok your way out of there. That pretty much does it. You will need to go to the other computers and go to network places...view workgroup computers, find the computer with the attached computer....in there you should see the printer....double click on it and it should set it up as a printer for you....it will pull the driver from the computer that is sharing it. Good Luck =)

Hook up the printer to a computer that is hook up to your network. go to printers and faxes in control panel and right click the printer and share. then go on your wireless machine and go to printers and faxes and click add printer and go through the wizard and then when it asks you if it is plugged in to another computer on the network click that and next and it will search your network. And it should show up select it and click next and there you go.
