HOw can i use my brotehr printer, from all the way from his room??


My older brother has an HP printer hooked up on the computer that he uses, now i got a question, how can i use his printer to print out a document from all the way from my computer??
say for example, on my computer, its got no printer, but i do have microsoft office 2003! lets say when i open up word...
and i wanna print out a document, how can my computer do that?
so i have to go to my "Printer and faxes folder"??
but i dont see the printer name in it....
Like whne i go to Printers and faxes
all i see is "Microsoft office document and image writer"
how can i make my computer see the HP computer!!!
do i have to set it up? i am on a shared internet connection
my computer uses a wireless usb adapter to connect to the internet....
how can i set this up...nobody in my house bother to help me
so thats why i am asking you...

Sounds like you're already on a LAN with him, so pretty much all you have to do is share the printer from his end:

1. Click on the Start->Control Panel menu item.
2. Click on Printers and Other Hardware.
3. Click on Printers and Faxes.
4. Click his printer.
5. Click the Printer->Sharing menu item.
6. Click Share This Printer.
7. OK out of everything..

You may still run into a driver problem at your end. You may be able to get the driver from his computer, or you could just install it from the original CDs.

Also, his machine must be set up to Share Files And Printers. especially in his firewall.

Good luck.

Here is a quick rundown from Microsoft's website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using...
