Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use your printer from your laptop or netbook without having to connect it directly with the USB? It’s possible to do this without even buying a wireless printer! As long as you have already successfully connected your laptop and/or netbook to your desktop computer you are all set.



1. (Windows Vista) Open up your Control Panel and double-click “Printers”.

5. After a few minutes, your printer will be installed and ready to use. Print a test page to make sure it works properly.

Remember, your desktop compuer has to be on for the printer to work on your laptop/netbook. Hope this helps!
