Connecting a printer please help

[hancocmc01]

I have a laptop now connected to the internet through a wireless router (belkin) which is wired to the main computer in the house, this computer has a printer wired up to it, and was wondering if i could send files to print from my wireless laptop to my printer????

Thanks

yes, assuming both pc's are running xp then just run the network setup wizard on both, andmake sure you select to turn on file and printer sharing, on the main pc share the printer by going into printers & faxes, right click, properties, charing, share this printer

Then on the laptop go into printers & faxes, click add new printer, select add a network printer, select browse for a printer then click next, then browse for it thorough the dialog that comes up, select it, click next and agree top anything that comes up then all teh drivers will be installe dand you can printe wirelessly from the laptop
