Firstly let me say I know next to nothing about wireless networks or networks in general, and at almost 70 years any explanation just doesn't sink in.
So, question:
In my dining room I have a desktop (XP) with an Epson SX218 connected via USB.
This PC isn't connected to the internet and I have no desire for it to be as I use it for personal stuff.
In the living room I have a Laptop (7) connected to the internet via a USB dongle through the Orange mobile telephone network.
What I would like to do is be able to use my printer from the Laptop. I did see on ebay some printer servers, but don't know if they are suitable or can do what I want so don't want to buy something I can't use.
I'm ok with computers but having a look around Google all I can see is explanations and how to's that assume the reader has a degree in computer science, something I have never understood why the assumption everyone is a 20 year old wizz.
Can anyone help me with what I would need to be able to use my printer from my laptop please ?
Thanks in advance.
