I'm having problems sharing my printer on my home network ... I have two printers connected using my wireless router .... both running WinXp Pro
The printer was originally installed on my desktop and I want to share it with my laptop ..
As it recommended on sites like Practicallynetworked.com, I first set up my network ... turning on "Client for Microsoft Networks", "File and Printer Sharing", TCP/IP (enabling NETBIOS over TCP/IP) and QoS Packet scheduling on both PCs
They are both in the same workgroup .... and can share files well .. both are also able to connect to the Internet through the router ..
To setup the Home network, I ran the network setup wizard on both PCs while the printer was on .... and rebooted both ...
The printer in question - a Compaq IJ 1200 - shows up in Printers and Faxes on both computers .. I can however print from my desktop but get an error everytime I try to print from my laptop ...
The Printer shows up as "Auto Compaq IJ1200 Inkjet Printer On [My Desktop Name]" on my laptop in Printers and Faxes, and is enabled for Sharing on the desktop through:
Printers and Faxes>Compaq IJ1200 Inkjet Printer>Properties>Sharing
I really don't know what else I need to config .... anything on my router? ...
Any thoughts ....
