RE: Printer sharing - Is this possible

I got the impression the router has only one port and it is in use. If
it has more, than yes, just do that.

If the printer has a wired network connection, just connect it
directly
to
the router. That way you don't have to keep your desktop system on at
all
times and it is available to any system on your network.

Here's the scenario:

I have 2 DELL destops: (1 Insp and 1 Dim) I'll call them A and B:

A: Insp: Running Vista Home Premium: Wirelessly connected to an AT&T
Internet Router: This comp has a wired network port.

B: Dim: Running Vista Business: Above Wireless Router is Wired to
this
comp.

I have a network printer that only has Wired network port.

Would it be possible for me to wire this printer to wired network
port in
A, and then print from B using Wireless Network?

I have another scenario but I'll wait for your input for this one,
hope
I'm clear enough, thanks in advance. JS
