printer sharing

Nov 12, 2005 1 Replies

I have a desktop wired to Belkin Pre-N router/cable modem, with Lexmark X75 printer wired to desktop.



And separate Winbook laptop, wireless, with Canon PIXMA IP1500 printer wired to laptop.



Can I share the laptop printer with the desktop computer?

On the laptop, Add Printer > Network Printer. Just make sure that you have 'Setup a home or small office network' under XP (or similar on other OS) and have file printer sharing enabled/included on the NIC properties tab on each machine.
