I have a wireless network (main computer connected to a router by Ethernet
cable and spare computer connected wirelessly) to which I wish to share a
USB printer (Epson Stylus Photo R300).
I managed to get it to shared on the computer that is connected wirelessly
(the printer is plugged into the main computer), but I can not get it to
print. Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

The trouble is I have done that (as stated in the first post), but I
can not get it to print.

From the wired computer, open the printer properties in the printers
control panel, select the ports tab. What is the port that is selected
for the printer? Is is \\wireless_computer\printer or ?? Also, can you
'see' the wireless computer and share files with it from the wired
computer? Check that the wireless NIC and/or the computer itself is not
going into standby.

In addition to Cory's site, have a look at this site that might offer
some help: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/index.htm
