Wireless printing from multiple computers?

I am trying to print from 2 diffrent computers on my wireless network.



Currently on my network i only have internet access shared, no file sharing or anything.



It is a Linksys G band router.



The printer is hooked up to the computer that is connected with wires to the computer.

First both computers have to be a member of the same workgroup. I am assuming both computers are running on windows xp. Right click my computer, go to properties and then the computer name tab. The workgroup name should be the same on both, if you need to change it, click the change button. After that is done go to printers and faxes on the start menu. You should see the installed printer on the computer that has it physically connected. Right click the printer and click sharing and security. Choose the radio button for share this printer and type in the name that you choose for it. Click apply and OK and it should now show the printer with a hand under it. Now go to the other computer and go to printers and faxes. Choose the add a printer option which will open the wizard. Click next and then choose a network printer and click next. On this screen choose the option that says connect to this printer or browse for a printer and click next. On this screen it should show the computer name that has the printer and the name of the printer that you specified earlier. Choose that printer and click next. Your printer and faxes window should now show the printer.

Look around for a network printer server. They can be bought for about $50. Linksys makes the WPS54G, which is a wireless-G print server.



The print server connects to the printer; the router communicates with the print server and allows you to send any number of jobs from any number of devices (computers) connected to the router.
