Hi there,

Hope someone can help out here:

Have Broadband on main PC. I use a laptop for wireless BB with no probs whatsoever. But how do i enable my laptop to print to my main printer thats connected to my pc . Not connected to the router. Does it have to be connected to the router? if so what cable do i use? It's so confusing for me!!! The printer is network capable, but not sure how to print 'wireless'.

Any advice please?

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Cheers,

Vinnieboy

To be able to print to a printer on anohter machine they have to be attached in someway. This could be either a cable or through somekind of wireless device. However there does need to be some form of communication. Many wireless routers have the functionality to connect wired devices to them. What make and model is your device ? if you let me know that i can describe how best to connect your machines
