I finally got the laptop connected to the network & it recogonizes the
printer only sometimes. Both computers running XP. Does my desktop need to
be turned on (the printer is on) in order to print from the laptop? I
finally got the laptop to find the printer it is set up to share. I got it
to print yesterday & left the house after turning both systems off. When I
got back, I turned on the laptop but not the desktop and turned on the
printer to try again & it said it couldn't connect. I delted it & re-added
it but I had also turned on the desktop as well. So I don't know if I then
got it to print again because I turned on the desktop or if it was soemthing
else. It seems stupid to be in another room wirelessly & then have to run
into the other room and turn on the desktop in order to print from the
laptop!!
Thanks
