sharing printer in xp
I have a desktop with printer installed on it. Prints fine when connected
through desktop. I want to use this printer wirelessly through my NetGear wireless router. When i go to add the printer, the wizard does not find the network. Any ideas on how to get me started and what i need to look for to make the Desktop visible to the wireless laptop to print. I had this connected once before, but lost my connection and ability to see it when I changed from a Linksys router (G) to a Netgear router(N). Both computers are running Windows Xp. I also have 2 other laptops that run Vista. Would like to be able to print from those also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sonya |

Can you ping each other IP addresses? Posting the results of ipconfig /all

sharing printer in xp
Bob,
I turned off windows xp firewall on both desktop and laptop. Can ping each IP address including that of the router that I am using to connect to wirelessly. When I go to add the printer it finds "Microsoft Windows Network" but no connected printers. I have verified that both computers are in the same workgroup. They are in MSHOME. The printer I want to use is also shared. I am not comfortable with leaving the Windows firewall turned off. Any suggestions?

Sonya Did you follow the instructions in the printer manual about sharing and printing? Don't they say to install the printer software on all computers that expect to access the printer? Did you enable file and printer sharing in all firewalls? It seems to me that you didn't given that ping didn't work. Jim |
