How do I network a printer?
My kids just got a new Inspiron 1525 laptop; how do I connect it to my hp printer thats connected to my dell desktop? I've already asked my computer to share printer but when we search for a printer from the laptop it cannot find it? I have a router and moden connected to another desktop that will not connect to my printer either.
I tired everything I can think of, HELP!

This should help.
Sharing a printer through a wireless network
I usually recommend these settings in your wireless router.

Update the firmware in your wireless router. Manufacturer's website, make & Model needed.
Broadcast SSID(You may want to change this to make it easier to connect)
Use WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security. Most wireless devices work best with this type of security.
Mixed b and g mode(n if available)
Use channels 1, 6 or 11. Most devices work better on these channels.
Save and exit. Power everything off for 30 seconds. Power everything back on, wait 30 seconds, now try to connect.
