Network Printing Win7 and WinXp
Can anyone please help with what I think is a simple conundrum?
I have a small household wifi network consisting of a main PC downstairs running Win7 hardwired to a classic Netgear Modem/Router DG834Gv3. The Canon Pixma MP520 Printer is connected to this main PC via USB.
Upstairs, via a wifi 'dongle' (WPN111?) is a Dell Dimension PC, but this one runs Win Xp.
Before I upgraded the main downstairs PC from WinXp to Win7 the upstairs PC could happily print via the wifi - provided the downstairs PC was switched on.
Guess what? Now it won't!
I have tried all the buttons and settings I can find, both upstairs and downstairs, but no joy so we are currently into running up and down stairs with memory sticks. What am I missing? IT level - beginner-ish!!
Thanks
