Problems with Linksys Wireless Router and Printer Sharing

[barbie3865 0]

Hi All,

 

Hopefully someone can help with this frustrating problem I am having with printer sharing only.

 

I just went from a wired home network to wireless with Linksys WRT54G. I have 2 desktop computers and 1 notebook computer that were all sharing the same printer hooked up to my main Desktop computer. Since installing the wireless router they no longer will share that printer. When I try to set up a new printer connection on the other 2 computers that I want to share the printer with it recognizes the printer on the network but when I select that printer and then it makes you type in the name of that printer which I call it "main" I continually get an error message stating that the printer has either been disconnected from the server or that the name of the printer is incorrect. I am told it is a file sharing problem and linksys of course refuses to support this even though it was working on the wired network.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Your help would be appreciated. The printer is a HP G85 all in one printer/copier/scanner/fax

Hi I sent you an email but my problem I find now is not just with printer sharing but file sharing also.. Is there maybe a setting in the router?
