hey guys,
ok, my sister and i are both moving back home so we are having internet issues. I hooked up my parents' laptop to a router and got that squared away. now i hooked up my sister's laptop to the router and that works fine too.
problem:
my parents have 2 printers, 1 is a color hp (new) and 1 is an old hp laser jet (no network port). all my network cables are in my apt. so i have ot make do with what i have now. both the printers are connected to my parents' computer. how do i enable my sister's computer to access/print off of them? I ran the network wizard on both computers on XP and turned on the file/print sharing to no avail.
I am really bad with network stuff. Can anyone clue me in?
thanks,
Sebastian
