Wireless Network - Cant Print..

About a year ago i bought a WRT54GS wireless router for my pc.....this
installed absolutely fine and my 2 kids are able to get great internet
access from anywhere in the house using their laptops.

Great stuff so far.............. .....i was given a Wireless G USB Network
Adapter as a freebie with the above purchase.

Im under the impression that this is what i need for the laptops to print
stuff using the printer attached to my main pc.
I have googled for info but just cannot crack it....It all sounds so simple
but when i try anything, nothing works.

I made sure printer was set for sharing.....then the laptops pick up the
signal but i cannot get them to send something for printing......
I installed the printer cd on the laptops....not sure if this was right cos
it seems to assume that the printer is on LPT1: how do i alter this.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Dave :)
