HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY PC AND LAPTOP FOR PRINTER SHARINGHello all,
I am wondering how do I setup my pc for printer sharing. The pc is connected to a DSL router, and the laptop connects to the DSL router through a wireless card. Currently, the pc can print to the printer, because there is a direct connection between the printer and the pc. I'd like to know how do I give my laptop the capability of printing to the printer. I am using windows98 on my pc and windows xp on my laptop. I have been working on this for a couple of hours, and I still do not know how the functionality is done. All I know is that a file/printer sharing network has to be esablished by the pc which is directly connected to the printer. If anyone can provide detailed steps on accomplishing the task, I will be very greatful.... After you make the printer sharable on the printer attached to the desktop,
then go to the laptop, do add a printer as we would when hooking a printer directly to the laptop, then install the drivers, and browse the network to identify the printer that's flagged as sharable.
