network printer setup
I have a desktop computer running xp. It's connected to a linksys router with
an ethernet cable. I have a laptop running vista home premium. I have a HP PSC2355 connected to the desktop with a USB cable. How can I set this up to print from the laptop wirelessly? |

network printer setup
First remember to share the printer out, then it should be 'seen' by the
Vista PC. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "jhnpeterman" wrote in message ... I have a desktop computer running xp.

I have shared the printer on the desktop, but the vista laptop still can't
see it.

network printer setup
Have you tried connecting to it using \\NameOfXPPC\Printer (where
NameOfXPPC = the Name of the XP PC on the Network and Printer = the Shared Name of the Printer) You are sure the shared name of the printer doesn't have any spaces or illegal characters in it? (stuff like ?*! etc) You've remembered to enable File and Print Sharing in the XP PC? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "jhnpeterman" wrote in message ...
