Can I connect and print to my printer via wireless with my laptop?
I have a laptop running vista and a desktop with xp pro. My printer/scanner is an Epson NX400 that is connected via USB to my desktop.
* Laptop is connected to ISP via wireless linksys router.
*XP machine is eth wired to router.
I can simply switch usb to laptop, however, I would like to somehow make the xp desktop a wireless print server/scanner if that is possible? Help would be appreciated.
Yes, you can share the printer with your laptop if you have it already installed on your desktop. What you do is from your desktop go to Control Panel>Printers and right click on the printer and select Sharing. Check the option to share this printer and click apply,OK. From your laptop you go to Control Panel>Printers>add a printer and choose add a network, wireless, or bluetooth printer. You should be able to find the printer on the network and connect to it. This will only work if your desktop computer is on.
