Help with Networking Printer
I have a WindowsXP Desk Top that my HP Printer is originally connected
to. I bought a HP Lap Top and I wanted to get it connected wirelessly to my printer. My HP Printer isn't Vista ready, but I've already got the Vista drivers for it and installed the Printer Software on my Lap Top. I also clicked on Sharing on my Lap Top and on my Desk Top. When I plug my Printer directly into my Lap Top it will print a sample out for me, but not wirelessly. There is something left to do I guess that I didn't do and I am not sure what it is if anyone is familiar with it I would appreciate the help. Thanks Swampy

Help with Networking Printer
Do you have a network card in your printer - is it in fact a wireless printer? If so you have to connect it to your wireless network and then you will be able to connect to it wirelessly. -- echrada

It is a HP PhotoSmart D7100 To answer your question I do not think so, but I was told if I downloaded the Vista Drivers for it I could use it wirelessly on my Lap Top. I just bought my Lap Top in June 2008. Swampy
