We have a BT Home Hub in one room, a printer in another and 3 laptops scattered around the house. I wanted to know if it was possible to connect the printer to the hub and print documents from the various laptops.

Yes it is possible.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

I used the article in the link and got both laptop and desktop to print wirelessly. Occasionally things won't print, but as a back up, I also set up a USB connection on each so that the printer can be plugged directly into the computer.0
