[QUOTE="brairden, post: 1101656, member: 166628"] You don't need to create a new network. Connect both of your computers to your wireless network that is set up on your router (the one where you have internet access). Now just turn on file and printer sharing on both computers. Open the finder and look in the sidebar and your other mac should be listed there. As for installing the printer from the laptop, open system preferences and select printers. Click the add button and the printer should be listed there if you have printer sharing turned on on the iMac. If you have problems, let us know. [/QUOTE]
