I use a Linksys Wireless hub off of my home computer and
have 2 printers. When using my wireless laptop, I wish to
be able to print to these printers. I have set up my home
computer to "share", but when trying to access my
printers from the wireless laptop, it does not work. I
have tried the auto search feature on the laptop, but it
will not find the printers. Any suggestions how to
accomplish accessing the printers from the laptop??

Can you access shared files from your "home computer" via your wireless
laptop?

If the Windows version on the laptop is one of the 9x series (e.g 95, 98
Me), make sure that the printer's Share Name is less than 12 characters long
and does not have any imbedded spaces or special characters.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
