I have installed Belkin F5D7632-4 wireless modem/router and are getting
internet fine on my Laptop and Desktop which has the printer connected BUT
I am having a problem setting it up to print from my Laptop
Can anybody help please?
( network wizard at the end asks you to make a disk but both my desktop and
Laptop have only got cd - is there anything you can do about ?)

can you see both computers in network neighborhood ?

is the printer "shared" ?

you are trying to run the network wizard ? if you have a CD burner , put it
on a CD (a rewritable would be better than wasting a CD :>)
 
Are you trying to connect to the printer wirelessly or do you intend on
sharing your printer from you desktop?

Note at the end, there is an option not to make a disk. You only need the floppy disk if one of
your machines is not Windows XP.
Have you setup a common workgroup for your network and have you turned on printer and file sharing?
