I have a wireless network made up of 3 laptops and a desktop. The printer is not connected to anything via cable. After installing the software, all 3 laptops connect to it perfectly. However I can't seem to get teh desktop connected. The desktop is connected to my lynksis router. The desktop detects the printer on the network but will not connect to it. ANy help??

Is this an XP or a Vista machine? The process is different for the two OSs.

The laptops are vista and the desktop is XP.

Start => Settings => Printers and Faxes +> Add a printer (on the left nav bar) => A network printer, or a printer connected to another computer. If you know the network location, type the location into the text box, otherwise, leave the box blank to browse the networks. This should solve your problem.
