    How do I hook up a printer wirelessly to a wireless & wired network
    « on: February 21, 2008, 10:46:37 AM »
    I have a Verizon Fios Westel Modem.  I have two laptops wireless and 1 desktop wired directly to the modem.  I have two printers an Epson 7920 and a HP 1500 lasercolor.  I would like to have them both accessable by all units.  The HP is hooked directly into the desktop and the Epson is on a desk on another floor.  Presently the laptops have to plug into printer directly.  The laptops are dell inspirons and the desktop is a dell also.  Any ideas?

    If all the machines are in the same workgroup you could share the printers. This would let the other machines print to them.

      Thanks that will help but what about the printer that is not directly connected to the laptops most of the time?
