Hi
Wireless is just a replacement to a Wire. So if both computer are connected
to the Network (Wired or Wirelessly, as long as the Network sharing is
configured correctly it should work. (Win 98/ME sharing,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing#win98 )
The printer drinkers has to be installed on both computers. In the computer
without the printer you have to add a Networked printer when using the add a
printer wizard.

Hi. I can't print from my wireless networked computer, either. When I try
to add the networked printer I get the message that windows can't access it.
Wireless is VISTA, other computers are XP and Win98. I did install the
drivers on the wireless, but still can't print.

Hi
In most cases it is due to Sharing problems.
May be this can Help.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
Vista File and Printer Sharing-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx
Basic XP -
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...lesharing.mspx
Advanced XP - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040
Printer Sharing XP -
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx
Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357
Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista -
