How to Print Wirelessly

sygreen517 · 08-10-2009, 07:17 AM

I have two laptops in the house... one runs XP and the other runs Vista. I was wondering if there's a way that we could print to our Lexmark All in One printer even though it's not a wireless printer. I use comcast internet and I have a wireless router. Can I connect the printer to the wireless router and print to it that way?

This is my first time posting, so I'm not even sure if I'm posting in the right place.

Thanks for your help.

Is theprinter networkable? . . Does it have a ethernet port? If not, you can buy a wireless print server to do what you want.

If the printer has a ethernet connection, just connect it to the router . . if not, connect viausb to one pc and share it with the other
