Default printer sharing over a wireless router



I'm running XP on two computers and want to share the
printer that is on the desktop computer to the laptop
connected wirelessly. To try to take the wireless out of
the mix, I have connected through the ethernet port, but
I still unable to see the printer. Any ideas?

Default printer sharing over a wireless router

Enable printer sharing on the XP with the printer. Go to
the printers folder, right-click over the printer, and
select sharing.

Then on the second computer add a network printer. It
should let you select the printer on the first computer.
