I am running windows XP Pro on my desktop, and XP Home on
my laptop, I have set up a network through a wireless
router. I am the Administrator on both computers. Every
time that I try to set up a shared printer to my laptop,
it gives me an error. It says that "I am not authorized
to do this function, See system Administrator". How can I
fix this problem so that I can use prtinters that are
connected to my Desktop?

Thanks in advance for any help

Ron,

How are you attempting to share the printer? Are you using the printer's
property page and sharing from there? Obviously, make sure you are logged
in as the administrator on the desktop machine when you go to share out the
printer.

If that is failing, try creating another user account and sticking it in the
Administrators group, then logging on as that person.

Pat
