I am getting ready to do this very same thing. My cable company installed my "wired/wireless" modem; I did not feel confident enough to work with "wireless" without backup; they install the modem and you set up the password.
I have tested the lap tops and they are on the network. So now I understand that all I have to do is load the printer software on the lap tops for the lap tops to begin using the printer wirelessly.
My home network is connected to verizon fios via an Actiontec router.It has two desktop computers running Windows XP,each with it's own wired printer. I have added a new laptop running Vists and it is working ok accessing the internet. I would like to connect the laptop to the main printera HP all in one that is wireless ready. I am not sure how to accomplish this task. I went to the control panel that has the printer hardwired to it and tried to allow it to share. I get a warning that i need to use the wizzard, but not confident i understand what needs to be done. It keeps telling me I could allow unwanted access to my home network. Is there an easy step by step a novice could understand and do.
