I'm having a lot of trouble sharing a printer on my network.
I have a Lynksys WRT54GL on my school's network, which is functioning as an access point rather then a router. I have one computer hard wired, and two wireless laptops on the network. The wired computer is connected to a printer, and we are looking to share the computer over the network. I've set the printer to be shared, and I set up a network. After trying to set up the network on the laptops (used the same workgroup name and everything) they were unable to find any printers when I browse the networks.
Sorry if any of this is slightly unclear, I don't know a lot about networking and I tried my best. If anyone has any suggestions or any sort of walkthrough on how to share a printer over a wireless access point I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
