I have a wireless home network set up, I use network magic. I have a laptop hard wired, a brand new pc hard wired, and an old pc that is wireless, it has a printer. I want to know what I can do to remove the printer from a PC and make it totaly wireless.. what can I do ??

EDITOR'S NOTE: You'll need a printer that can connect directly to your router, either via network cable or wireless. Not all printers are networkable, check the manual.

My desktop is hooked up to two printers, I have wireless and a laptop. Can I have access to both printers via my wireless laptop?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sure. Just make both printers SHARED on the network, then any computer (laptop or not, wireless or wired) can use them.

I have a desktop computer running Windows 2000 Pro which is direct connect to 2 printers (Samsung & Lexmark) and also connected to a D-Link router. My laptop Dell/Vista cannot print wireless to the printers, I've disabled all Anti-virus, etc. I'm also using Network Magic, no luck.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You didn't say, so are the printers designated as Shared? Also, if you connect the laptop via network cable, can you print?

EDITOR'S NOTE: What computer is the printer connected to?

I used to print from my wireless laptop to my HP DeskJet G85 until I installed a newer version of Netgear. Now I don't know why I can't print wirelessly. I followed all the proper steps again but with no luck. My printer is hooked up to my desktop. The Netgear is hooked up to my desktop properly. Please help. Thanks!!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: You'll have to poke around in the router setup options ... maybe a firewall is blocking you.

I followed all the steps, and when I try to print the document from my laptop(Toshiba with Windows Vista), it says sending to printer, but then nothing happens. My hp deskjet 3420 printer is connected to a desktop computer running Windows XP, and I have a Linksys router. What should I do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe the Vista firewall is blocking you. Try turning it off.
