shared printer over wireless
Thread Solved |
Depends what you mean. If your printer has an ethernet port at the back, you can do several of the following:
Hope this helps
- If you have a wireless router, you can connect it to that and then access it from another computer in your network.
- You can also connect it with a wireless ethernet adapter to make the entire printer wireless.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to share a printer over a wireless connection? If how, could you please help me. Thanks.
The type of medium over which you're sharing the resource (Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Bluetooth / etc) is irrelevent, provided the configuration for that connection is setup properly - For Windows NT/2K/XP/etc you need to enable NetBIOS on both computers in order for file & print sharing to work correctly.
NetBIOS usually runs over TCP/IP - there's a setting in the TCP/IP properties in your network configuration which will allow you to enable NetBIOS.
failing this, NetBIOS can also run over Novell Netware's IPX (Used more commonly for older versions of Windows)
