I have a printer connected via USB to my PC downstairs.
I have a home network (Wireless) that consists of 2 PC's, a Laptop and my PS3.
Is there any way i can make it so any PC can use the printer on the network?
Thanks

Yes you can, you will need to have the PC switched on where the printer is pluged in to when you want to do some printing.
First of all, what operating system do you have installed on the main PC where the printer is currently pluged in to?Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
Yes, you can network all the PC's/laptop to print to the USB printer. However, as the printer connects via the downstairs PC, that PC must be switched on for it to work. To print directly to a printer without the main PC being switched on, you would need a network printer connected to your router (wireless or ethernet).No free lunch, and no free laptop
