This should be the easiest thing to do, but I'm banging my head against the wall trying to make it work.

I'm simply trying to share a printer connected to a desktop computer, through a wireless router. The desktop is connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.

Both computers are running XP. For the life of me, I can't get it to work.

Any links or suggestions?

1. They're in the same Windows workgroup?
2. The printer is marked as a shareable resource?

Can you find the printer when you try to add it on the second computer?

Thanks for that link. I never did the "share printer name" step. I'll have to try it when I have a chance.

You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ... but ya doesn't hafta call me Johnson
