I have a Voyager 2091 connected by cable to the desktop. I have a laptop connected wirelessy to the Voyager and I have no problems accessing the Internet, e-mails etc. What I would like to do is use my laptop and print on the printer I have which is connected by cable to the desktop. I have tried using the network set up wizards but still can not print. Any body done this and has the secret? What am I doing wrong etc? or for a novice exactly how do I set up the remote printing?

1. Have you shared the printer that is connected to the Desktop?
2. On the laptop have you added a printer?
3. Are the Desktop and the printer switched on?

Thanks for that. I think the answers are:-
1 Yes
2 Yes
3 Yes
but I will go through the steps on the website and check thoroughly.

Yes. I've checked that and I believe that it is all done. If I try to print a Word document from the laptop I get a message saying that it is preparing to print remotely but nothing happens and then the screen locks. Given that I have the desktop wired to the router and the laptop connected wirelessly should I use the network or the wireless network set up wizard?

Have you tried printing a document using a different program, say, Notepad?
