How do I network 3 computers to 1 printer? They are networked together using a Belkin ADSL modem with built-in wireless router. The printer is connected to the 3rd computer but computers 1 & 2 will not print to it. What have I done wrong?

Re: Networking printers

You need to share the printer. In the Printers folder, right click the printer, Select Sharing.

Good luck

Andy, if you still have trouble after Chris' suggestion then look at your firewalls if you have any. If you think it may be firewalls, unplug from the internet and then stop/shutdown the firewalls and try. You can try PINGing the other machines if you suspect that there is no connectivity between machines.
