It seems I have to disable my firewall in order to enable printer sharing in my house.
I have one desktop PC hardwired to the printer by USB cable. Then I have a laptop that connects to the router wirelessly. So the wireless laptop is not directly hardwired to the printer but I have it set up to print.
How can I configure my home network so that I can keep my firewall on in the desktoop PC while being able to print from my wireless laptop. The wireless laptop does not require me to turn off the firewall in it.
Laptop is Vista
Desktop is XP
Printer is Hewlet Packard
thank you
Eddie
