Wireless Printing - Comments Page 3

Response from Feb. 12 comment: Yes I'm wirelessly connected to the network and yes I specified the printer as shared.

My printer is connected to the pc. I have followed the instructions above to share the printer. I have a router (wireless used for my MAC G4 powerbook) and hardwired to my PC. I would like to print from my powerbook (via the wireless router through the pc).

I do also have ADmit Mac installed on my Mac which seems to help in locating and connecting to the printer. I have been able to select the printer (from my powerbook), and even select PRINT. But nothing happens. The print que says the print job was completed. But I don't see it. Any thoughts?

I followed all the directions that were given and I still am not able to wirelessly print. I have a Hp Desktop with Windows XP Pro and a Toshiba Laptop with Windows Vista. My router is connected to the Desktop and i'm trying to print wireless from my laptop. When I searched for a printer on my laptop, It found nothing. What is it I can do about it or what am I doing wrong?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You still have to install the printer software on the laptop. Did you do that?

Thank you, thank you, for such a simple explanation. Now printing wireless from the laptop. Wasn't sure it was possible.

I set up apple airport extreme wireless router with usb print server. My xp prof. desktop is hardwired to the internet lan port on the router. The Canon i960 printer is plugged into the router usb print server port. I print from desktop no problem. I cannot print from the wireless laptop also using xp prof. I can use both computers to share the internet connection but cannot print from laptop. I have downloaded latest print driver on each machine. Any suggestions would really be appreciated...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Seems like it SHOULD work, but does the manual for the Airport say that it supports printing from a wireless workstation?

Everything works fine (I guess) except that I cannot find my printer on my laptop. What happened?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Are you saying you CAN print, or you can't?

Great guide to accessing a printer hooked to another computer via a wireless network. Easy to follow and understand. Is the process much different when accessing a PC from a MAC G4 Powerbook? I'm computer illiterate so you'll have to hit me right in the face with it. Thanks for any help.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You may need to install the printer software on your Mac, but it should work.

Thanks for the info! I hooked up my wife's XP Pro Dell wireless laptop to both our printers: Brother HL-760DX and HP PSC 750, which are connected to my Dell OptiPlex GX110 running 98SE! (I know - the latter are virtually antiques!)
If I could do it - anyone can!

I have a Dell laptop that uses a wireless card to connect to my D-LINK wireless router. I have a HP Printer Server box with an HP LaserJet printer attached. The laptop has been able to print for many years. Recently the laptop seems to not able to talk to the printer. The laptop can surf the net without problems. The laptop also can print IF I pull the wireless card and plug the network cable to the built-in nic. i.e. wired printing works but wireless won't work. Any place I should check? OS is XP Pro. Thanks

EDITOR'S NOTE: Perhaps removing and re-installing the printer software will fix it. I've had random problems like that.

I have done that many times. In fact, I reinstalled XP already. At this point the laptop is as plain as possible and yet it's still having the same problem. I can get it working (by uninstalling and reinstalling the driver) and then the next day it will not work again. Again if I connect via the built-in nic then it's all ok. I have even tried using a different wireless card and it's still the same. I am really at a lost.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It must be a software problem... something is trampling on the printer driver. Maybe anti-virus program?
