Wireless Printing By Chris West

Wireless printing can be a great help in that it is faster and easier than transferring documents to other computers to print.

Some things to keep in mind:

- When you share a printer or drive on your network, ALL users have access to it by default. Make sure to require a password for access to your computer, and its components. Share your drives and printers at your own risk.
-ENABLE WIRELESS SECURITY (Radius, WEP, etc) to limit unauthorized access to your network.

To setup wireless print, first you need:
A printer
A wireless network
A computer to host the printer

ENABLING PRINTER SHARING ON HOST COMPUTER

- First, make sure your printer is hooked up to a computer on your wireless network.
- Find the full computer name of the printers computer, and make note of it
(right click my computer, go to properties, and go to 'computer name' tab)
- On the host computer, click Start > Control Panel
- Open Printers and Faxes
- Right click your printer and click 'Sharing'
- Under the Sharing tab, Share this printer, and decide a name (remember it)
- Restart host computer, and print a test document from the host computer

Selecting your computers to PRINT WIRELESSLY

- From the computer you want to setup for wireless, click Start > Run
- Type the following command "\
(remember the computer name? its described in section above how to find)
- If setup correctly, after a moment, a window of all shared files/printers SHOULD show up
- Find the printer you want to print to, and right click. Choose 'Set as Default Printer'
- Restart the computer you are trying to print from, and print a test page

If this has not worked, these are likely reasons for failure.

- Your wireless network is not setup correctly
- The printer is not set as default printer
- Incorrect software is being used
