Setting up wireless laptop to print with printer connected to PC

[Teresa]

I would like to knoe if it is possible and how I would go about setting up my
laptop which is wireless to work with my printer that is connected to my PC.
Both computers run off of the same cable internet connection.

Hi Teresa,
Firstly, you do not mention if the pc and laptop are already networked.
Secondly, I do not understand your last sentence.Please clarify cause I am
sure I can help you.Do you have a Wireless Access Point with intergrated
ethernet ports?
Please reply.

Regards

Ok my PC and laptop are not networked and I would like to know how to do that
too. My laptop came already wireless compatible and I have a router that is
attached to the cable internet box so that I can use my laptop anywhere
around my house. Can you help me set both up? I have tried before and it
didn't seem to work.

Hi, I can now safely assume that you have a Wireless Access Point since I get
the impression that both pc and laptop can access the internet, correct? But
before I help you, please tell me what operating systems does the laptop and
pc run?

 

[Teresa]

Yes you are correct. Both can access the internet. The laptop is Windows XP
and the PC is Windows XP Media Center Edition. I would like to set it up so
that I can print from either device. Also, is it possible when both are
networked together to get files from one computer through the other computer
ex:an article saved in My documents folder on laptop to open up on PC? Thanks
