I have a simple question (I think). I have recently gotten a high speed
internet connection from my cable company (Cox) for my home. I have a
desktop computer running XP Pro and a laptop with XP Home and built in
wireless networking. I have a cable modem and a wireless router set up so
the laptop can get the web wirelessly. It works fine. I would also like to
get the printer (Brother HL-1240 laser (low end)) that is physically hooked
up to the desktop computer to work wirelessly with the laptop. Some people
tell me I have to buy a print server some say I don't have to. I am
confused. Help please.

Thanks in advance... Bob
