printer sharing is done over a network. the software to create a simple network is built into Windows XP (and earlier versions).








i'm not familiar with your hardware and so I don't know if it includes or functions as a switch ... you need a switch function to route info (print data) from one computer to the other.

I take it that both computers can connect wirelessly to the internet at the same time with no problems - right ? If not, you must first fix this.





Then, on the computer with the printer, right click on the printer - go to the ';sharing'; menu item and share the printer.





On the other PC, go to the printers, add a new printer - and select ';a network printer';, and follow the steps.





Voila.
On the computer that is physically connect to printer go to control panel %26gt; printers and faxes %26gt; right click on the printer icon and click on ';sharing';. Click the option to ';share this printer'; and okay through the rest.





Go to the other computer on your network and go into control panel%26gt; printers and faxs and click ';add printer'; icon and choose the network printer action and then go through setup process...done.
