Print at home on work laptop

Guest

Greetings...
Not sure if this is the right spot to post this question, so apologies if I
should post elsewhere.

I have Windows XP Dell Desktop and Windows 98 Compaq desktop (each with
their own printer) hooked up to home wireless network. Everything works fine
(knock on wood!) in that I can print from either computer to both printers.

I have HP laptop at work that I take home now and then. I connect to my
home wireless internet with no problem at all on this laptop. However, where
do I go and what do I do to set up my work laptop so I can print to either of
my home printers?

Thank you!

First make sure that each of your home printers is set as shared
(right-click on it and choose Sharing) and that you know the name
it's shared under.

Go to Start | Settings | Printers and Faxes | Add Printer. Add
one of your home printers, and configure it as a network printer
using the name it's shared under. Repeat with the other printer.
