We have a wireless network set up from the main computer.  On my laptop, when
I try and print a document to the shared printer the printer window pops up
on the main computer telling me that the document is printing, but nothing
prints.
Is this a netwrok config problem, router problem, printer problem... etc?
Thanks!

Hi
Be ready with the printers drivers (CD/Disk) log to Control Panel /Printers
and Fax / click on add a printer and follow the wizard to install Network
Printer.

Unfotunately, it didn't help...assuming I did everything correctly.  I had to
plug the printer directly into the laptop to complete the setup, though.  It
wouldn't let me do otherwise.
I'm still having the same problem.
