    I'm trying to print thru another computer on my wireless network without success. The computers see each other and I was able to load the drivers over the network and the documents I try to print will show as "printing" on the computer connected to the printer but nothing gets printed. I have enabled sharing but still nothing. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Have you tried rebooting the printer? (Turn it off, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.) This solved a similar problem for me. Try doing the same for the router.

    Rebooting either device doesn't help. Anyone else?

    Can you successfully print from the computer connected directly to the printer? Have you tried connecting your laptop to the printer directly and priniting that way?
