Networking Printer to Wireless Laptop

by MayburyMadam Jan 19, 2006 8:02PM PST

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 120 and I networked it to my Dell Desktop with a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, which works great. Now I want to network my Lexmark X1185 Printer with my Laptop. How do I do this and do I have to buy a differnt router for that too? I've been reading forums about this, but no one really knows how. They all speculate how to do it, but no one explains it. HELP!!

we didn't know what you want exactly.

there are many ways of doing printer sharing...
such as:

printer connected to one of the computer, and share
printer connected to the router USING a print server
printer is wireless ready
