Question about sharing an OfficeJet 6210

by wizardjs - 5/23/06 6:44 PM

Im trying to network an HP OfficeJet 6210 Printer attached by USB to a PC. I have a home network setup but I cant figure out how to share this printer. I selected share printer from the options but it hasnt worked. When I went ot the HP Director, and clicked network, it said that this printer was not configured for wireless use. Is some way to configure it for wireless use besides buying the AirPort Extreme Base Station for $100? Can I plug the printer right into my Linksys Wireless Router?

did your printer have wireless capability?
did your printer have a Network card?

If it have the wireless capability, then you can share it wirelessly... (you don't even have to connect to a pc)

If it only have a network card, then you need to have a Print server (wireless or hardwire)

and please be aware, that if you share multi purpose printer, you can share the PRINTER only.. (not the copier, fax, scanner, etc.)
