Hi all
I have an aging Vaio laptop running Windows ME which has a Wifi card. This links to the ADSL modem OK and I can access the internet fine. I also have a dual boot XP/Ubuntu tower which the printer is connected to. This also has a wifi link. What I want to be able to do is to print from the laptop via the wifi network, preferably with Ubuntu running on the tower (we use that more as it's quicker to start up than XP).

Can anyone point me to where I get started on this? I'm a bit of a novice at this sort of thing.

Thanks

look into SAMBA if you want linux/xp interactions across a network
for linux/linux printing look into CUPS

linux printer support is very limited though,
