Printing from computer using a router

derrybhoy

Hi,

My computer is connected to the net via a router. Does anyone know how I can enable my computer to print to the printer downstairs? I've heard its possible.

Thanks in advance

you need to enable printer sharing on the printer downstairs

Or buy a printserver like this so you don't have to have your printer connected to one pc which then has to be always on for sharing to work.
