I have 2 laptop computers in the house. Both use the same wireless router to access the web. One of the laptops uses XP, the other is a Windows 7. I have 1 printer connected to the XP machine. How can I provide access to the printer for the other laptop?

If they are both connected to the same network, you should be able to add the printer to the Win7 machine as a network printer.
On the Win7 machine, go to Start, Devices and Printers. Add a new printer … Network printer.
