Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to print to the printer on
the computer hooked up to the router? I've just gotten the wireless network
up and running but seem to be horribly stumped on how to print. Both
machines are XP...one is Pro (hooked up to router and where the printer is)
and the other is XP home. When I go to "add a printer" I do not see the
printer listed nor do I see the computer name hooked up to the router so I
must be doing something wrong!

Thanks for any assistance!

The fact that you are trying to print over the network via a wireless
connection (instead of wired) is irrelevant. You need to set up your
home network with proper sharing and then you'll be able to print. Here
are links to help you with that:

Go to the links I gave you for information about setting up your network
and you will be able to find the printer.
