I have my windows xp pc and my mac laptop networked together on a wireless router. Now I am trying to accomplish networking our printer together. Can someone give me a step by step guide on what i need to do to do this?
Networking?
Depending on whether the printer has its own internal network card or if it is attached to one of your computers, its a fairly easy process. If it does have its own network card, you just need to install the printer software on each of the computers. If it is attached to one of the computers, after you install the software for that particular comuter, you need to share the printer is it is available to the second computer. The only thing left to do from this point is to install the software for the second computer and direct this computer to find the printer attached to the other computer. Sounds a bit more complicated than it really is. If you like my answer, let me know how the printer is attached to your network or email me and I can give you a little better instructions.
Reply:Just go to control panel click on printers and faxes.then click add printer choose the box add network printer and have it search for networked printers. Choose that printer and the software will install automatically
Reply:Install the printer drivers on at least one computer.
Make sure all computers are connected to the network.
Go to: Start %26gt; Settings %26gt; Printers and Faxes %26gt; Add Printer
Click Next.
1. If the drivers are installed on the computer you are currently on, select the first option (default) and click Next.
2. If the drivers are not installed on the computer you are currently on, select the second option ("A network printer...") and click Next.
Follow the rest of the steps on the Wizard.
You should do the same process for each computer.
Good luck!
