How do I connect my laptop computer to my home computer printer?
Just connect the printer from you laptop same process when you connect it to your PC. You don’t have to turn off the laptop. When the laptop detected that a new hardware is being connected, it will prompt you to the installation process. If it ask for the installation CD, just put the CD that comes with the printer to you laptop. Follow the instructions. That’s all.
The same way you connect the home computer to the printer. If the printer is an older one, it won’t have a USB port. You will need an adapter for that purpose like this one: http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=3504 If the printer has a USB port, it will be as simple as any other printer installation. Good Luck!
