Problem sharing a printer
Do you have file and print sharing installed on both computers?
Are you able to share folders on the machines? -- Daniel Lawrence A+, Network+ "704set" wrote in message om... I have just set up a wireless home network using Linksys Router (WRT54G). It is set up directly to my desktop and to a remote laptop using the WPC54G card. A Samsung ML-1200 printer is connected directly to the desktop. The network seems to be set up correctly as I can connect to the internet from both computers. The problem is I can't share the printer with the remote laptop. I can see the desktop from the remote but it will not recognize the printer. Here are some of the facts. - Both computers are running on Windows XP Home - On the desktop, I have opened the sharing tab and clicked "Share this compuer". - The share name is ML-1200 - The workgroup name is the same for both computers. - When attempting to access from the laptop I use Add Printer Wizard then "Browse for printer". - Then I get "Microsoft Network Computer", below that "Home", below that "ABSCOMPUTER" (the name of the desktop). But I can't find the printer!! Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. |
