My printer is connected to my computer downstairs.
I want to connect my computer (upstairs) to the same printer.
Is there some wireless device i can use to do this?
What is it called?
How Much does it Cost?

You can start a wireless network by buying a wireless router.
1) Plug in your computer downstairs into the router
2) Enable Windows File and Printer sharing on your downstairs computer
3) Share the Printer on the network by right-clicking and selecting Share
4) Purchase and install a wireless adapter for your computer upstairs if doesn't already have one
5) Browse your network and find your shared printer to install on the upstairs computer
The wireless router cost around $60 and the adapter around $50. I've found good deals for around $25 on ebay.
Make sure you secure your wireless network with a password or your whole neighborhood can potentially have access to your printer/network.
Contact me if you have any questions.

that's amazingly basic to do as long as you have properly matched working structures. in case you have XP living house on the laptop the printer is linked to, it incredibly is problematic. First, you're able to create a community on the laptop pc - bypass to regulate Panel and suitable click on the printer icon which you have put in. pick properties and share the printer. Then bypass on your pc and click upload printer - browse for the shared printer and upload it. in case you won't be in a position to come across it with the help of surfing for it, you could could create a house community with the help of going to regulate panel and placing one up. I even have 4 laptops linked to my under pressure printer that's shared on my laptop. Works splendidly and you do no longer desire extra kit! don't comprehend why somebody might vote thumbs down on my answer - they don't comprehend what they are conversing approximately. I run XP professional on my laptop with an HP 1600 sequence printer linked to it with the help of potential of a USB cord. I actually have a XP living house pc, a Apple Air, a living house windows 7 sixty 4 bit pc, and a netbook Ubuntu all linked wirelessly to the printer on my community.

I've never heard of anything like that? If there is, then I need it and would make things a whole lot easier.
