How do I connect a wired printer to a wired/wireless network?

Nope i have a nas that has everything built in and what i need.

Exactly the point I was making.... spending £30 on a standalone print server = questionable value.....

Spending a similar amount on something else that 'happens' to have a wifi print server built in = better value.... ->be it an Apple toy, nas (network attached storage), or something else

the very.co.uk site is still doing it for £65 and periodically issue codes for £30 off a first order

They seem to have one live right now of 'ZQ692' but are a company you have to be quite careful checking your 'eligibility' for any code (for mine it was new customers only, paying by Mastercard only) or you could run into problems

Check out which Groups you are in. I think XP is in MSHOME and Win 7 is in WORKGROUP. Right click My Computer/Properties to change XP to WORKGROUP.
On the desk top "Share the Printer"
On the laptop "Add Printer" and tick as Networked, not Local connection.
That's it really. Forget Print servers.

Printer now working. Thanks for your help, it's so easy when you know how :T
