Prining to a network printer from a netBook

[Darlop]

Is it possible to print to a network printer from a netBook, using a Gateway Linksys WRT54G and Orinoco Wifi Card on the netBook?

I haven't tried this myself but it appears to work. Take a look at http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18057

Thanks for the reply.

May be.... but not with my material. Other possibility is to run PsiWin via WiFi network. But, is that possible too?

More knowledgable people than me say no but you could transfer files by setting up an FTP server on your PC or netBook and then use PsiWin to convert (or you could use nConvert to convert on the netBook before sending). Have a look at http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25686

Ive used my netbook with network printers before at college.

Lazerjet 4 drivers work with every hp lazer jet ive tried.

I used passthru32 by kevin millican to accomplish it, simply enter the printer share name under 'port' then just follow all the other steps on kevins site.

Its worth noting that from when you press printthru to when you stop printtru you will tie up the printer with a downlevel document, also for one page documents I had to close printthru on the pc after the netbook had sent all the information for the file to print.

Hope that helps.
