Hi,

On the system with the printer attached, go to the printers folder and
right
click the icon for the printer, choose properties. On the sharing tab,
enable it and give it a name. Apply/ok your way back out. The share
name you
gave it should be visible to the other systems provided that you are
running
SP2 (or SP1 w/o the firewall enabled), and they are all the same
workgroup
name. Use the add printer wizard on the other systems and indicate that
you
want a networked printer to add the shared printer.

Wireless Share Folders and Printer

What is your method to share 3 or more PCs that are connected to a
wireless router? Share the folders. 1 PC has a printer connected to
it.
How did you share a printer with the other 2 PCs connected to the
wireless
router?

At this time, I cannot buy a wireless USB print server.

Thanks for your time Sir.
