another thing i can is exclude your printer ip in your router as dedicated to your printer only. then from there you can follow the steps that have been given.

Hello,

My suggestion is:

Give you printer a “static” IP address. I say “static” because you can configure it manually within the printer interface or you can reserve a specific IP address in your DHCP server (this might be your access point which I’m assuming is also your network router)

Once you have this printer with a static IP address, you can install it on every computer in the same LAN.

When you launch the Add Printer Wizard and if you are running Windows 7, it will automatically search for networked printers in you LAN. If running XP you’ll need to add an IP port (configured reserved IP address) and you’ll be done.

This is just an overall clarification. Should you need more detailed explanation, just tell us so.

Please tell me that is not your real IP – note publishing real information is not clever anywhere.
