Should we consult our ouija boards to get all the relevant details?

The more you tell us about the LAN, the components,
what combinations work and what don't, it gives some
idea what things are working, and what things might be
busted. Tell us what you've tried, for any combinations
that work.

+------- printer (make/model,WPS button?)

router ----------------- computer #2
make = ??? works with printer
model = ???
WPS button ?

computer #1
WinXP
doesn't work with printer
ssdp service running ?

Nobody wants to write an entire printer manual
to answer your question. If a respondent writes
too long of a post, nobody reads it.

Remember, when you're asking a question, you're
trying to "attract answers". Make the question seem
relevant. Force the respondents to focus on the
relevant parts of an answer, and stay away from the
irrelevant stuff. Like, if we asked you to check
that the power cord was plugged in, well, that
would be pretty stupid. But right now, we don't
know how well *any* of your setup is working.
Did the printer, print the test page ? Etc.

Fill us in.

You see, sometimes you let slip some tiny detail,
that *immediately* gives the answer. And it saves
a lot of stupid questions.

I forgot that I needed to download and install the printer driver. :-)

I did so and am setting up the wifi network with the ESSID and password.

I think he remembered to download the printer driver and he's done that
and installed it. Yes. I can feel that.
