Hello,

I have a new laptop, in the office next to me there is a router, i can sucessfully connect to the router and go on the internet..

Connected to that router is a computer ( Connected via RJ45 Network cable )
and connected to the computer is a printer (Canon PIXma ip3000 via USB)

How do i make it so i can print things from my laptop of the printer connected to the computer connected to the Router

My laptop is running Vista Premium and the computer is running XP Home

Thanks alot

are u sure ur router can connect to your computer or just to the internet.

Umm on your laptop go to Network-> The name of your desktop -> should be a folder about printers -> select the printer ->Right-click it and it should say something about using it with your laptop

The name of your desktop?

Of course it can.

um, not if he is mistaking his router for a basic wireless router that just gives internet signals.

Just laptop

I tried running a network setup

I plugged a USD drive into the base computer then into my laptop then back into base computer when prompted..

It displayed my laptop and says the network has been created, yet it doesnt seem to show up?

**Sir_Axxewraith** · 09-09-2007, 03:14 PM

**Sir_Axxewraith** · 09-09-2007, 03:22 PM

Yea, i went into Control Panel

Printers and other hardware

Printers and faxes

single clicked on my printer, then on the left hand side, Share this printer.

Now inside LAPTOP there is "SharedDocs" and "Send to OneNote 2007" And "Printers"

Altough, when i click on them, Windows Explorer Freezes ..

Did you click "I want to share without running the wizard"?

**Sir_Axxewraith** · 09-10-2007, 09:05 AM

Where's that ?

First of all,
make a home-network.
If you have done that, enable file sharing (optional) and Printer sharing.
Search for printers on your network and set it as you default.
Done!
You must add your lap-top from the "host" PC tho!
