Question : How can I print through wireless connection to a printer hooked to a PC?

I have a PC running Windows XP and a laptop running Vista.  The PC has an all-in-one that I'd like to print to from my laptop using the wireless router.  I'm using a Linksys 2.4GHz Wireless G router.  How do I do this?

Thanks.

Keep in mind you need to share the printer by right clicking it on the desktop, and select Sharing, assign it an easy name, and save it. The icon will now show a hand under it...

If you are on the same network as the wired PC (assuming you are, but can be verified by running start>run>cmd.exe>ipconfig on both machines), simply go to start>run>and type in \\DESKTOPPCNAME and a window should pop up on the laptop, showing your shares available on teh desktop...

And most HP AIO printers use an installer which asks if it is a network installation, or a local installation, so that might be the best thing to do at first, once the printer is shared. Otherwise, you might not have all the functions available unless you use the installer...
