I have tried and tried, but I am not able to get a home network set up.  Where am I going wrong.  I have a desktop with XP, a wireless router, and a laptop with a network card.   PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong.  I really want to do printer sharing.

1. You can purchase an HP jet direct card and put your printer on your network.

2. You can share out the printer at a pc by creating a printer share at the PC, however this requires that tyhe PC is always powerd up and on the network. You will need printer and file sharing installed and enabled. It is available on your XP disc.
