printer sharing, please help

[alarson82]

we have 2 computers sharing a wireless connection in our house.

One is a pc, running windows xp home, with 2 printers hooked up, laser and a canon inkjet. Is there anyway i can set up a printer sharing network to print from the laptop, over the network?

The catch is the laptop is a mac, running os X 10.2.8

Is it possible? help

Do you have a router?
If you are not, then you need to an adhoc mode on your network using a crossover cable.
Or you may use switch or hub to create a network. This case you need to match the network group name!! MUST!
Then share the printer and folder! That's it!

More reference, goto microsoft.com and use search engine for some tips. (some screen shots should be there!)

Good luck! 🙂

Yes. i have a wireless router. But the computers are not networked together, just sharing an internet connection wirelessly.

I know nothing about networking. help.

Your computers are already Networked, you just need to set the File and Printer sharing onn each computer.

And you have to make a major new year resu;otion.

To learn about Networking.

To hire someone to do it.

To let Go.
