How to print from laptop to desktop PC printer?

I can't print from my laptop when my desktop PC is not turned on?

  • I have connected my laptop to my printer via network successfully. When my desktop (the PC that is connected to the printer via USB) is turned on, I can print stuff from my laptop all right. When my desktop is turned off, I can't print from my laptop

  • Answer:

    The main computer that is literally connected to the printer has to be on for the laptop to work. If your computer isn't on, then there won't be any connection between the laptop and the computer, and it won't work. Just keep your computer on if you want to print from the laptop.
