    No need to any printer discs, you can download the drivers from the manufacturers website. If it is a problem having to take the laptop to the printer then as others have said get a wireless printer.

    Hi green eyes :D, do you just want to print from your netty book whilst the main PC another room is switched on or do you want to print whilst it is switched off. What is the printer and does it have a network card then yes you can, if not then the main PC has to be switched. Tell us what printer you have what PC's you have and are you using wireless, or if you are plugging the netbook in to the printer. How is the printer connected to the main pc?
