Default Moved printer to new PC. Can't add computer/printr to wireless lap


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.

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!
