You will only need a bit of time and dedication, as well as reading all the information in this post correctly and focusing on the issue at hand.
First of all, you will need to have a printer installed and shared on a network or work group. While it can be connected to your own printer by a USB cable, it needs to be in a shared network to continue with this process.
Step #2:
Now turn to the printer you wish to configure for wireless printing and move this printer to a network or work group. You must do it even if it’s already connected to a wifi network, and put a name on it that will help you identify this is the wifi printing device.
Step #3:
This steps consists of looking for this particular printer in the network it’s part off. You will need to enter the start menu, enter the control panel and click on printers and faxes in order to find it.
Step #4:
Click on the add printer option, located on the upper-left side of the column for windows7 users and on the left side of the window for windowsXP users. You can also enter Networks and click on the “this printer will only work with operating systems starting from windows7.”
Step #5:
You can also get this done by entering the printer’s name in the network and making it print from wherever you are using wifi. The proper way of connecting to the printer is to type the following commands in the network’s window: \ \ computer_name \ \ printer_name.
Step #6:
Click on next and you will be able to locate your printer. Now, click on Locate again to configure this same printer.
