OK...I'm in about the same place as Barbara. I have a wireless router, a desktop (hardwired into the router), a printer (hardwired into the desktop) and a laptop. I have created a network (I think), and the desktop can see and open documents on the laptop. If I try to print a document from the laptop, I get nothing...if I plug the laptop in to the printer, it prints fine. I have been told that I need another wireless router for the printer in order for the laptop to talk to it w/o a hardwire connection.
