I realize that.
but networking is complex for anyone who
has never experienced it before.
so, if possible exercise my suggestion
first.
if you can't create a simple network via
wire connection, then wireless will be
impossible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The second machine is a PC and will be connected wirelessly
through the router. The Printer is connected to the "A" machine.
I want to be able to print from the new "B" wireless PC.
the first step is to turn off your antivirals
and firewalls on both machines.
this will ensure that there is nothing
impeding your connectivity while trying to
figure out the task at hand.
if both the laptop and the pc have the same
work group assigned to them, then both
machines should be able to see each other
and what has been "shared" should be
indicated in the explorer.
-------------------------
if not, then try this next step:
if the printer is hard wired to the pc,
then try to network the laptop to the
pc directly,
by simply connecting your laptop to the
pc with a "cross over" cable.
once you do this, the pc will share the
printer to the laptop, if they are on the
same "work group"
