How can I wirelessly network two computers to the same printer?

I'm assuming the software for said printer has to be on both computers, but where do I go from there?

If your printer has a NIC card, you can use a wireless router to connect to the printer. Then you can just install the drivers on each of the computers and set it up as a wireless network through that router.



If the printer does not have a nic, then you can get a separate print server and follow the directions they give you to set this up.



Another option that works, and I use, is to take an old computer (like a PII or something you would not actually use) strip it down to bare bones, and install the printer on it. Connect that printer to a wireless router with a Static IP. then wireless network into it sharing the printer out on that old computer. That is the cheap yet useful way to do it. Good luck!

I am assuming your printer is attached to at least one PC. Okay on that PC goto control panel %26gt; printers and fax. Now right click on the printer find sharing - allow sharing. On your other PC that is connected wirelessly goto control panel and add a printer - browse to the printer that should now be showing on your network. The software will load across your network.
