How can I allow printing from my laptop [wireless] through my PC? I have a linkys router and internet connection to both. I tried to create a "home network" and have shared my printer but unsure how to go from there. Laptop is xphome. PC is XP pro

Have you added the shared printer to your laptop?

Make sure that both the desktop and laptop are using the same workgroup name.

Go to Help and Support search on "network setup wizard" click on 'run network setup wizard' and follow the instructions.
