A wireless computer printer is a device that automatically creates a wireless network that allows any device in the area to use its printing capabilities. This added functionality typically adds sometimes hundreds of dollars over the cost of a regular computer printer. You can save that money and make your own regular printer a wireless unit by simply sharing it over your existing wireless network. This accomplishes literally the same thing as buying a wireless printer.
Instructions
1. Click "Start."
2. Open "Control Panel."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Change Advanced Sharing Settings," followed by "Turn On Network Discovery." This will allow your computer to see devices being shared on your wireless network, as well as allow other computers to see devices that yours is sharing (like your soon-to-be wireless printer).
5. Click "Turn on Printer Sharing."
6. Click "Apply." Your computer printer is now connected to your wireless network, which will allow other devices to use it without being physically connected to it. It will now operate identically to a regular wireless printer.
