Re: PLS HELP - Sharing a PRINTER through a WIRELESS Network
The technique is the same as for a wired computer, the wireless link has no significance here.
Make sure the printer is marked as shared on the computer that has it directly connected. Use the Add Printer wizard to add a network printer.

Re: PLS HELP - Sharing a PRINTER through a WIRELESS Network
Probably. I don't use their stuff, but it's often a problem when attempting to network. Disable the firewall and see if you can connect. If so, that's where the problem lies.
