A friend of mine from church has a Toshiba Laptop running Win 7 and is trying to connect to his HP C6180 Printer via wireless network. How can I assist him in setting this up? I have already showed him how to set it up via Printer
Sharing, and it works fine, but he doesn't want to have to leave the XP PC turned on for Print Sharing to work. How can I set it up directly on the Wireless Network for him?

You can share printer But you need to connect your printer to the wireless router first. Since you told its wireless printer you will have option to scan for the network. Connect to the home network. In order to it manually on router. You need to access router page(configuration depends on the router-Dlink,linksys,Belkin etc)
