You can share your printer connected to the PC with the laptop without a print server. First make the printer shared.......right click printer icon and select shared Select add printer on the laptop, select network printer When it ask for the printer name type in \\\\yourPCsName\\printersharename It should now show up on the laptop.

Linksys makes a nice print server just for this. Connects two prints (one USB, one parallel). Works both wired and wireless. I like mine.

A little pricey.

Unless I am mistaken, it's not going to work because you need a USB driver installed on the router to run a USB connection. Can you install a USB driver on the router? You can do it on the computer that has a USB connection, because the computer has a driver for the USB port that's installed on the computer. I use a printer server that's connected to the router on a RJ45 LAN port that is connected to the printer server that is connected via parallel connection (I think they make print servers with a USB print server connection too.) to the printer. The print server allows all machines wired and wireless to share the printer that's connected to the router.

I use a Cables To Go print server for my wired and wireless setup. I think they make a wireless only print server too.

Did you even bother to read the OP's post as to what he wanted to do?

Duane :)

I am just checking. The post did kind of imply that he had that figured out. ;-)

Well, if you got a decent NG reader like Xnews (free) instead of using OE, which will do proper bottom posting on the thread that OE cannot do, that will leave me out of your replies so that Xnews doesn't alert me to your bottom posting and I wouldn't see you. ;-) Please, you should check out Xnews or some other NG reader that will do automatic and proper bottom posting on replies.

Duane :)

I hate bottom posting. If i wanted to read the thread from the start again, well I would.

Do you see me bottom posting all over the top of someone else? ;-)

So Robert Jacobs maybe you could tell me how a speech synthesiser used 'read' text to visually impaired users would handle this posting (as it is displayed by your news reader) and make sense to such a visually impaired user?

Don't be selfish. Don't top post.
