How can I print from my laptop to my desktop printer wirelessly?

Question

I use AT&T Yahoo as my ISP and when I signed up with SBC Yahoo I received a 2Wire wireless router/modem. My desktop PC is connected to the 2Wire wireless router/modem and a HP printer. I also have a laptop that I use and can connect to the internet through the 2Wire router/modem.

What are the steps necessary to enable my laptop to print to the HP printer?

Answer 1

You should have little difficulty getting the data between the devices. But it's very hard to get the paper to go through the wireless connection. To remedy this, you can roll up the paper really tight so that it can squeeze through your router...

Have both computers and the printer turned on when you start. You will start with the Desktop FIRST.
Whenever you want to print the computer that the printer is physically attached to must be ON and LOGGED into.
