•
Connect your printer to your networked computer, then share the printer. For
information about sharing printers, see “Sharing drives and printers” on
page 52 .
•
Connect your printer to your access point if the access point includes a USB or
parallel port. For more information, see the instructions that came with your
access point.
•
Use a printer that has built-in wireless networking.
•
Use a wireless print server.
Important
Before you can print a file across the network, you must install the driver
for the printer on the computer you are sending the file from. You can obtain
the printer driver and installation instructions from the CD that shipped with
your printer or from the manufacturer’s Web site.
