    I need info on how to setup sending print jobs from my HP Vista home premium dv6000t with 3945 Intel pro card, to my XP Home desktop printer. I can put USB bluetooth dongle in the desktop, and the laptop has bluetooth.

    Any help or links would be great. Thanks.

    If you want to do it wirelessly, you're going to need a router.

    Assuming you have everything hooked up, you can either get a print server and connect that to your printer, or just hook your printer up to your desktop. If you do it with the latter method, the desktop will have to be on if you want to print. You should be able to access the printer once it's on the network.

    I'm sorry, I left something out. I do have a router. A linksys WRT54G Version 2, running DD-WRT v23 SP2 (09/15/06) std.

    I'll lay it out.
    HP Vista Laptop dv6000t w/3945 a/b/g IntelPro internal card.
    XP Home Desktop with cable modem to the linksys router.
    Printer is USB connected to the pc, an HP 1315.
    If I am told what to do, no problem.

    Thanks
