Can't Connect to Net Printer
I run Win XP on a desktop (named "MyDesk") and a laptop
(named "MyLap"). The deskop is connected by Ethernet cable to a Linkys Wireless Broadband Router (model WRT54G). The laptop is connected wirelessly to the same router. The desktop and laptop are part of the same workgroup, named "MyWrkGrp." I can see and access the resources of MyDesk from MyLap. For example, I can access the external Maxtor hard drive that is connected to the desktop. However, I am unable to share the printer that is attached directly to the desktop by its parallel port (LPT1). The printer works perfectly from the desktop, but I need to use it from the laptop. The printer is "shared" and is named "HPLaserJ." When I go to the "Add Printer" wizard on the laptop, I do not see the printer when I browse. I do not see the printer at all. How do I print to the HPLaserJ attached to the LPT1 port on my desktop from my laptop? Thanks |
