Answer: You need to set up home networking on your computer.  If you are running windows xp you can use your setup CD to do this.  Simply insert the disc into your media drive, it should run by itself, if it does not go to my computer, click on the disk in the window.\n\nWhen it comes up go to "Perform additional tasks," first install .net framework, then setup home or small office network, you will need to do this on both and have both up and running at the same time.  Also you need to remember you have to have the computer that the printer is plugged into booted up and running for the printer to work from another computer.\n\nHope it helps
