How can I add a printer to my computer and be able to print?

How to print from a wireless printer?

• i have 2 desktop computers and one laptop in my home. my one desktop computer has a cable internet connection(comcast), a wireless router, and a printer. the wireless internet works great on both my other desktop and my laptop, but my problem is with the printer. On the main computer the printer is set up to be shared over the network. My laptop is able to print off of it all the time but my desktop has only been able to print off of it once. when i go to add the printer in Printers and Faxes it finds the network but does not find the printer. why can't the desktop find it but the laptop is able too, and how do i fix this... the main desktop is a dell, the other desktop is a hp, the laptop is a sony vaio, the router is a lynksis, and the printer is an hp, all three computers have windows xp service pack 2. all answers are appreciated......thank you! :-)

• Answer:

  make sure you add the security name to your printer that is on the desktop it is the name you gave when setting up the wireless router
