    Printing in the network without turn server PC on
    I have a dell PC who connected to wireless belkin router. And a brother multifunction printer who connected to the belkin router too via ethernet cable. And I have a laptop in the network. It working fine I can use internet, share file and do printing ( I have to turn the PC on so I can able to share file and do printing job ). But what is being the :mad: drama is I can't do any printing job through my laptop without turn my PC on. Will be very nice if I can do printing job without turn my PC on. Do any any hardware so I can do prining job without turn the PC on please helppppp!! :confused:

    It sounds like you are printing using the PC as a print server. The printer should have its own print server since it is ethernet connected.

    I would recommend that you take a look at the PC and see how the printer is configured on it and configure your laptop the same way. You are most likely doing TCP/IP printing on the PC and you need to do the same thing on the laptop.

    Good luck.
