MOSE Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 OK, I'm about to trash my office!! I bought a new printer today and for the life of me I cannot get it to work on the wireless network I got in my office. The printer is connected directly to my machine, but I've been told by Belkin, that the printer should be easily accessible by both machines on the network, but for the life of me I cannot get the other PC to print anything. WTF am I doing wrong?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Have you set it up as shared in Windows? What printer is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Got the drivers installed on the other systems? I had loads of trouble printing to my dads new HP over our network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Ahhhhh, now that is a good question. I tried getting the other machine to find the printer on the network, but it hasnt found anything. How do I check to see if it has the drivers on it?? Or can I just use the install disc on the other machine?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 My best advice would be read the manual, not sure how it works but I expect will be different to my HP PSC2179 as thats also a scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSE Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ok have solved the printerissue which is good cos it nearly met its maker. I hadnt got it set up on the network, so it was only assigned locally. Working fine now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
