    How do I connect my Laptop (Win 7) with the computer (Win XP)

    How do I connect my Laptop (Win 7) with the computer (Win XP) ?

    I want to use the Printer connected to my home-computers Printer.
    The home-computer is connected by wire to a wireless Router and my laptop is also connected to the same wireless Router.
    I cant find the home-computer from the Laptop. All files and the printer are shared.
    The home-computers card for the network is not wireless.

    How do I find the printer from the laptop ?

    Purchase a router, it's much easier & you don't need the computer with the printer attached to be on.  The printer attaches to the router.
