We have a printer in my house that is capable to be used as a network printer, but i dont know how to set it up. i know how to connect to a computer and use its printer, but the computer this printer is connected to is connect to the wireless, just the router( other wireless computers dont recognize it). any idea what could be done to hook everything up correctly?

Now you want to have the printer on the main computer that will always be on.
1. - Install the drivers and install the printer on that main computer.
2. - Then, shared the printer - this is how - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspx
3. - Then install the printer on the other computer, this is how - http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Dum...etwork-Printer.id-1517,subcat-NETWORKING.html
Hope this helps

sorry, but that was no help. i did that to my dad's laptop, which has a crappy printer. my mom's computer is hooked up to the good printer, but isnt part of the wireless network. somehow it bypass the wireless part and connects straight to the router. and if this helps, the printer is a HP psc 2410 photosmart all in one.
