Printer Networking, adding a printer to a network?

Alright, there are three computers in my house and I want to connect each of them to a single printer. I have a wireless network connection already established and the internet works on all three computers. However, a printer attached to one of the computers is not recognized by the standard "Add Printer" functions on the other two.





I was wondering if the lack of recognition comes in part to the fact that the computer with the printer is not the host computer to the network.





And I was also wondering if there were any other means that I could connect a printer to a network, keeping in mind that I have already looked through printer spooling and the printer settings on the computer with the printer attached to it (set to shared).





I believe the problem lies with connecting the printer to the network, but on the computer with the printer attached it says that the printer is being shared, but the other two do not recognize that.





Thank you for your help.

If you really want you could get a printer server. this allows you to connect your printer to the network without one computer always have to be on. Its a little pricey though. look around, there are cheaper ones
Reply:do the other two computers have drivers for the printer?
Reply:well first on all three computers go to start then my network. you should see all computers on your network. if there aren't any computer then you have to add the computer to the network. having a pc connected to the internet doesn't mean its on the network. to add a network click on the msn icon and it should automatically search for your network. if it doesn't then google "how to add a pc to a network"
