Connect a printer

[waynepompey]

I have a Belkin wireless g router which is connected to my desktop. I have to laptops that connect through the wireless connection on the router. Can I set up the printer to work on these two laptops ? If you can give me any help or instructions I would be grateful. Mu po systems on all three is xp.

Cheers

you don't say which printer - or which model of router.

you can fit some printers with network cards ... and connect them directly to the network
(some come with them built in)

you have a number of other options
connect the printer to one machine ... and you can share it with the other.

you can get a do-dah called a print server

and some routers have a usb port which will support a printer (ie bt home hub)

the shared option is simplest .... but it means you can't switch the pc off while the other machine might need to print

(at first the judge told mickey he couldn't divorce her just because her front teeth stuck out) .... But later performed the deed when mickey explained he wanted to divorce her because she was fu****g goofey

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it might prejudice me!
