I want to share a printer on my network, but i cant figure out how, i ran network setup wizard, i right clicked the printer and said Share, i even configured my windows firewall to let me share, i have a wireless G network through a Linksys router with a built in firewall, do i have to enable sharing in that firewall too?? i even clicked on add printer in the one i want to print from and it said i added it but i still cant print to it... Anyone who can help please post!

did you try to access the printer directly? -> go to adress "\\[ip of printserver]\[name of printer share]"

i dont have a print server, i just access it directly from the other computer, would i type in the IP of the other comp??
