| | Installing a printer on wireless home network I am trying to install a printer on my new Toshiba with Vistas home edition. The printer is attached to another computer (with XP) and there is a wireless Linksys router that provides the home network. The laptop identifies the printer (sees it through the residential gateway) when I view computers and devices in the Network and Sharing centre but doesn't find it when I try to Add a Printer. Help? |
