I currently have a desktop with my printer connected via usb and also use a laptop on wireless.
I'd like to be able to print from the wireless laptop via the printer connected to the desktop.
Any advice how I do this?

Many thanks,
pm

I'm sure someone with the knowledge will be along soon.

Quite a few of the wireless ADSL modem routers have a USB socket for connecting a printer to share over the network, wired or wirelessly.
The link in the post above looks like a very useful piece of kit and will do the job.

You could share the printer on the PC it is attached to, and then connect via your network.

It's free to try, but does mean you need the PC on the whole time
