Hello,
I have a printer connected to my desktop pc. I recently purchased a laptop and connected it to the internet via a netgear wirelss router I also purchased. My question is, Can I connect my laptop to my existing printer or do I have to purchase a wireless printer also? Thanks...not very tech savy so I am clueless as to what to do!!

Thanks,
Jewel

1. You can share the printer using the desktop. But, the desktop must be turned on to share.
2. You can buy a network adapter for the printer and connect it by wire to the router.

Both of the above will allow you to print from the laptop.

Good Luck
