I have 3 computers running off a Linksys wireless router and want to be able to print off one printer.Two machines are running XP and one ( the one in the office where the printer is ) is running Vista.Any thoughts?

This could actually be a quite simple answer. All you have to do is to try running the Network Wizard on all of the computers that you'd like on the network. You should make sure that the network has the same name on all computer, such as MSHome or something that you decide on instead.
Also, you should choose the option saying that you would like to share printers. (If applicable)
Please note: Your computers may need to be restarted in order for the changes to take affect and for them to be networked.
You'll also be able to share folders too, which may or may not come in handy.
Good luck and happy networking!

connect the printer to one of the machines on the network and then share it in the same way you share a drive
