Wireless Printing - Comments Page 12

I have a similar situation to Adrian. My laptop runs Vista and I am logged in as the Admin user. I set up both computer's firewalls to enable printer sharing. I can also locate a printer with the TCP/IP address, but I don't know how to proceed. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have a dell desktop running vista & a dell laptop running vista both on a wireless network, my hp printer is attached to desktop, when I had a laptop w/ xp no problems, but now I have to re-add the printer every time to print from my vista laptop. I also now have to have my destop powered on, AND signed in which did not happen w/ my xp laptop...HELP?

I just got a Dell 3115 laser printer and am trying to set it up to print when my laptop is not directly connected. I had a different Dell laser printer until today where a friend had set it up so I could print from anywhere in the house...but I can't seem to replicate on my new printer what he did. I only have one PC/laptop and it runs via a wireless router. I have connected the printer to the wireless router. I have shared the Dell 3115 printer installed on my PC, yet I am still not able to print unless I've got a wire running between the printer and my laptop. Please help!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sometimes the installation of the printer requires careful attention to the instructions. I would remove the printer/driver from your laptop, then re-install as per the instructions from Dell.

Great post. My only problem is that I have multiple computers in the house and wish for none of them to be with a wire to my printer. I want for all of them to print wirelessly. Any suggestions?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You'll need a network printer that plugs directly into the router.

Thanks for your help on these matter, took awhile to find how to above with Vista on my laptop but it finally worked. So i just want to say thanks...

Just not working,,tryed the instructionsn but printer not recognied, using HP Pavilion Laptop w/XP Pro w/ HP C3100 series printer via USB connection --wireless from a Linksys WRT54GS router --and can't get my wireless Compaq 2200 Laptop w/XP Home Edition to print out on the HP printer connected to the HP laptop

I followed your instructions on printing wirelessly and it worked like a charm! It took all of about 4 minutes. I have Vista on my laptop too, but it worked fine. Just had to install the printer driver, and voila! Printer connection wirelessly. Thanks for the great instructions!

I have 2 printers wired to desktop PC and a laptop hooked up to network by Linksys router. Both use XP. Laptop can't find either printer which are set up as shared.Laptop is connected to router.Firewall was turned off.

I really appreciate you article. My wife has a laptop (Toshiba) hooked wireless to my Dell desktop. She wanted to be able to print using my printer which is wired. We were told we would have to change my computer to wireless and buy a wireless printer. Didnt sound right to me. Your article proved me right! Thanks, it works fine.

Just wanted to say thanks. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. Worked on the first try. Thanks again for the article.
