[dba-Tech] Sharing a printer on a Wireless Network

I don't know squat about my router.  If it doesn't plug and play I get lost.
I have done the router configuration thing - 192.168.1.1 - through my
browser and done some stuff under the direction of a network guy but it was
long ago.

Anything I should look for there that might open things up?

Thanks and regards
