Hey guys, I was wondering if there was any way i could use my wired computer that is hooked up to my printer, to print off work of mine when I print via my wireless macbook.

Any ideas?

thanks

in the printer installation software there's usually that option: "printer is connected to a computer in a network" r something (i think) after choosing that option you get usually a dialogue with a option to find your pc.
BUT:
i always had network printers so i dunno if that option is standard on a non network printer... ?

sry.

Another way would be thru windows sharing option (again maybe, just guessing here). --> you know, right click on printer and choose the share option....

In either case make sure to have a network established between your 2 pc to start with
