Wireless printing problemI am have a small workgroup with 2 laptops. One of the laptops is connected
via a normal cable to a HP 1150 laser printer. This printer is shared. The two laptops are connected through a wireless network. For a long time I have been able to share the printer and print from the laptop that is not connected with a cable to the printer. Recently I setup the wireless network to use WEP and since then I have not been able to print wirelessly on the shared printer. Both laptops use XP SP2. I have tried to disable the firewall on both laptops but it does not help. I still get the message that access is denied to the shared printer. Any ideas? Christian Well the first thing that comes to mind is to disable WEP and see if you
regain the ability to print again. It sounds as if it is a WEP problem. Turning on WEP shouldn't effect the firewall settings. Can you ping the computer with the HP 1150 from the other computer. This would show a basic level of connectivity.

through the router worked with the remote computers, but it stubbornly refused to find the main computer that was hard wired to the router. I wrote HP tech support, and they said the HP software was probably corrupt. The first suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall the HP software. That did it. They had a second suggestion about using a fixed IP address for the printer, but it wasn't necessary.
