My setup is" 3 pc's in one building off a WRT54G, then a WAP54g , set
as AP,hardwired to the WRT and another WAP in remote building set as
repeater . I had on pc with USB adapter running for over 2 weeks,in
remote building, no Problem, I could see the shared printer from my
office pc in other building,.But I cannot see shared printer from
second PC in remote building..

I have sharing enabled, on the PC where the printer is,, I have printer
and file sharing enabled on 2nd pc..When I go to add network printer,
browse for printer it see's all the printer on the network, but when I
select one, comes back and says can't connect to printer..Driving me
nuts..
TIA, Ted O.

Any WinDoze firewalls turned on, or any third-party software
firewalls?

Possible permissions problem. Check sharing permissions.
