Printing with a Wireless Network?

[rapidarp]

I just finished setting up a wireless home network. I have 3 computers on the network as of now, one being my computer (with the DSL Modem/Router). From the other two computers, can I still print to a printer that is hooked up to MY computer? If so, how do i go about doing that?

Thanks,

Just right click the printer icon in Control Panel / Printers and Faxes, and then select sharing. Share your computer to the network and give it a name.

Same way as you set up filesharing. Share the printer, then find it in My Network Places on the other machines, right click, connect.

Just to clarify, when you say "on the Network", do you mean you have run the Network Wizard on all three machines and they will all "see" each other on the Network? If so, Kov-Ice's advice is spot on. If not, run the wizards first and make sure you select File and Printer sharing on each one so you can share those options.

Ok, thanks guys. I'll try it out.

another way...since you probably have a router is to set up a print server(i.e. you printer goes straight into your router)

it all matters if your router supports the print server capability and if you have an LTP port to spare...
this way, other computers will be able to print without YOUR computer being on.
i havent tried it myself cause my LTP cable is too short to reach my router and the main Home PC is always on anyways
