Default wireless network


I have 2 machines networked together and to the internet using a Draytek
Vigor 2600WE router/modem.
Is there any way I can get them to share a printer wirelessly too?

Default Re: wireless network

I have seen adaptors for Ethernet to serial, or to parallel for printers.
These were fairly expensive. I am sure that it is possible to have a
wireless adaptor of this type as well. If this is at home for only a few
computers, it may be cheaper however, for you to have a printer on each
machine.

Sure. Just put it on one of the machines...install it as a network
printer on the other machine.


Have a nice week...

That's what the router as the gateway for the LAN and WAN is for. With the
router and the machines connected to it using MS File and Print Share
services and MS Client service, one machine can have the printer and the
other machines on the LAN will be able to print to the printer or share it.
