printer server

I was told by the person who sold me my printer that I could hook it up wirelessly so I can print from any of the 3 computers in my house. How do I do this?? I have the photosmartC4480. My hardwired computer is running XP and is connected to the printer. My laptop is wireless and has vista.

Re: printer server

Not directly. Very new printers have wireless builtin. Older printers can connect to wireless routers. Your printer must connect by USB to a computer. It seems you have the latter already.

I have connected Vista laptops to XP desktops several times:

Also I found some info on the new CS forum:
