Re: Home Network Printer Sharing

Okay, the new notebook is NOT in the same workgroup as the home network.
When we try to add that workgroup name, it asks for a username and password
to "remove this computer from the domain." Obviously, we have already
established the fact that we do not want to remove his work laptop from the
workplace domain.

All we want to do is enable his new laptop to print to our home network
printer. I'm open to other suggestions.

Using XP-Media Edition.

We have set up a home network and have a wireless router. Everything is
working perfectly with our daughter's system in her room and with my
husband's laptop when he brings it home from work. Everyone can print
to the printer that is connected to our desktop system.

My husband just got a new laptop. He can connect to the network via the
wireless router, but we cannot seem to connect him to the printer. Have
we just forgotten how to do that?? When we try to "add a printer" and
do a search, we do not have the option to "search for available
printers." What steps do we need to take to enable him to print from his
new laptop via the wireless network connection like he used to be able to
do on his old laptop?
