   My printer is set to sharing with my laptop, but first I have to turn off the firewall on the desktop for it to work. How can I fix that?

   What operating sytem and what firewall? In general, a firewall you downloaded is in the try and you can right click and disable it. Start, Control Panel, Security to shut off Windows Firewall.

   Thanks for quic reply........Windows XP.... Firewall is Sygate. Yes, it works fine with the firewall off. Any way to fix it so I dont need to run to the desktop to turn off the firewall each time I want to print something ?

   You need to find out what port the printer is on and allow it. I don't know Sygate very well, so may not be of much more help.
