Read the original article Hit count: 222

Filed under:
  • printer 1 connected to the desktop
  • printer 2 connected to the same desktop
  • that desktop is connected via Cat 5 to a wireless router
  • a notebook is connected to that same router via WiFi

The desktop Control Panel has just been reconfigured to share printers. (I assume this means that the desktop will now allow a notebook coming through the router to be able to access the two printers that are presently hooked up via the desktop--am I correct? Is that what it means?)

The desktop can still print to either printer. It is presently okay.

This notebook/printer relationship is a new configuration. The notebook, however, can't print at all (yet it can access the internet just fine). Any suggestions for it to be able to access the printers and be able to print via the desktop via the router?

Thank you for any assistance.
