How to Share a Printer
What are the steps in sharing a printer in ME? I want to add my XP Laptop to
this wireless printer, but I don't know how to share the printer. How do you share a printer in Windows Me? |

Assuming that the printer is attached to a computer in a very similar way to as in XP. That is by selecting the printer on the host, properties, selecting sharing and enabling however first you need to enable file and printer sharing (Network Properties | Configuration and click the button File and Printer Sharing. However you mention the printer as being a wireless printer so does that mean that it is a network printer rather than being attached directly to a PC? If that is the case then on your XP Laptop use the Add Printer Wizard (Settings | Printers & Faxes | Add Printer). Select to add a Network Printer and then either browse to it, select and continue. -- Mike Maltby |

How to Share a Printer
How is the printer connected to the network? Is it connected to a PC or
directly to a router using either a wired or wireless link? If the later it is what is referred to a as a network printer and you need to connect to it as such and it will already be enabled for sharing. -- Mike Maltby schacko wrote: There is not "Sharing Tab" on my printer icon.
