a friend gave me these instruction to connect to our other computer in the house which has a printer so i don't have to move my lazy butt off of this computer.
Guide to Tie up a printer connected to another computer to be wireless.
************************************************** **********************************************
XP ( M$)
1st) First on the computer with the printer attached via usb, Go to Start>Control Panel>Printers
2nd) You should see the printer, right click> Sharing
3rd) Next check share and keep it the default name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vista Computer ( The Computer you want to wirelessly print to that printer)
1st) Go to Start>Then type CMD and then enter
2nd) From there in cmd type> Net View
3rd) From there make sure you see that computers name under your network
4th) Type net use \\*Computer's (file://\\*Computer's) Name
5th) It should say enter username and password, Enter it, Than a folder will pop up.
6th) A folder with printers will pop up right click> Connect
but when i go under this computer "the vista one" i type Net View under the Command prompt and it says the proper services aren't started. earlier i have done alot of disabling service that i wont need etc... to increase performance in my maching etc..... i was wondering if i could get a list of the services required to connect to the other computer?
