I have a Netgear wireless router with ethernet connecting a win98 PC, and a
new XP PC. I also have a wireless laptop. I can access the internet on all three machines. I have recently decided to move the printer from the 98SE machine to the new XP PC. The printer works from the new XP PC but when I try to add the printer to the XP laptop or the 98 machine, the printer can not be found. I have used the network wizard. I also tried the wireless network wizard but it asks to place the usb drive in the network device and my netgear router doesn't have a usb input. How do I configure this network for printer sharing? I appreciate your help. =?Utf-8?B?UmF5bWFu?= |

Hello Rayman,
Can you access the files on the computer that has the printer with your wireless laptop. I other words have you created a workgroup (network) so that your computers can talk to each other? If not then that's the problem. Your laptop cannot find the Printer on the PC because its not on the same network yet. You also have to make the printer "shared" on your pc so it can be seen through the network. Hope this helps!
