Some things to keep in mind:



- When you share a printer or drive on your network, ALL users have access to it by default. Make sure to require a password for access to your computer, and its components. Share your drives and printers at your own risk.

-ENABLE WIRELESS SECURITY (Radius, WEP, etc) to limit unauthorized access to your network.

To setup wireless print, first you need:

A printer

A wireless network

A computer to host the printer
