Hi everyone, I have a desktop running Windows XP Professional on it and also have a laptop Inspiron 1525 (Dell) with Windows XP Professional, now I have a Printer connected to my desktop and I was wondering how can I print from my laptop if this one is not connected to the printer?, Thanks.

Hi Bolo.The best way is to get Printserver ( Kind of Plu&play ).....If your printer is not network ready...:
Some thing like this..:

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124198&nm[umc=OTC-Froogle&cm[/u]mmc=OTC-Froogle--Network-Print/Scanner+Server--Linksys-_-33124198]

1!





Or go for the set up..: [http://uis.georgetown.edu/software/documentation/winxp/winxp.network.printer.html]

Remember...: The main Pcs has to be ON all the time in other for others pc to share the printer.
