Wireless Printing - Comments Page 13

Hi Bob, I have my desktop (Asus) that is wired to my printer (Samsung). Then both my desktop and laptop (Compaq) are hooked up to my wireless Linksys router. Both use XP. I followed your instructions to a T but my laptop can't find my printer ...... I even tried turning off my firewalls. Please Help

EDITOR'S NOTE: Can the laptop see the desktop on the network?

Hi Bob. I followed your instructions and also downloaded Bonjour for Windows as I also have a Mac. While doing the Completing the Bonjour Printer Wizard, a window presented this - "YOU DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER TO CONNECT TO THE SELECTED PRINTER".

I am the administrator & have checked that it is allowing the installation. So far, I have not gone beyond that window with the no access message. What should I do next. TIA.

Sorry Bob but I still can't figure it out after following the support link you sent since the account being used to log on to the network is a member of the local Administrators or Users group. Something else must be screwing the connection.

Did as instructed, however I keep getting an error message when I run the wireless network wizard.

Error message reads as follows: Depending on the wireless software running on this computer the wireless network wizard may not work. For details see article 871122 in the knowledge base at microsoft.com, Did as microsoft told me to do.

Dell Desktop is running vista, dell laptop is running xp. Wireless internet works fine, however I cannot find the laptop on the network. Getting frustrated. Any info would help

thank you! makes my life that much easier

Thankz a lot I have vista and it still helped a ton!!!

Dear bob, I was looking to your artical; I need help in hooking up a Lexmark Z82 to my Macbook pro for printing via a Dell inspiron 8100, will you please help. I was thinking about using the Linsys simultanious Dual N w610rtn router; so what do you thinK? I have found myself using the macbook pro more than the pc, but there is no printer driver to support the mac to print to the Z82 Lexmark!

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think your choice of routers makes any difference. Here's are some articles that describes doing something similar to your scenario: http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharewinprinter.htm and http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/macosx/winmacprinter/

Thanks!!!

Bob, You are the Wizard. I just connected my PC Laptop to my Mac network by dowloading Bonjour. It was so easy with your directions. Next I plan to connect the PC desktop and eliminate a bunch of wires from my office.

Thanks so much!

Excellent instructions, the only addition, which I did discover in at least one user comment was making sure that your Workgroup name is the same on the computer that you are attempting to network as the computer that the printer is connected to. I successfully networked a Vista laptop to an XP desktop and was printing in less than 30 minutes and did not even have to download any additional drivers. You rule, Bob!
