    Hia

    Im trying to sort it out so that I can print from anywhere in my house to my printers downstairs.

    Is there something basic I'm missing here?

    We have:

    3 Windows 7 PC's
    1 Windows Vista PC

    How do I get them all to talk to each other and share the printers?

    If your printer has ethernet plug it straight into the hub, if not plug it into one pc and setup printer sharing (windows help will guide you)

    No ethernet and printer sharing doesn't work?

    Why do you need all those PCs?

    Perhaps we're old fashioned but at Mum's...I'm the only one with a lappy!

    Possibly describing why it 'just wont work' might be of assistance.
