Hello I need help!
My main concern is that I want to be able to print wirelessly from any of the 3 laptops we have in the house. My canon MF4450 all-in-one printer is connected via USB to a laptop running on windows Vista. The other two laptops are on windows 7. All of the laptops have wireless connection to the internet.

From the laptop connected to the printer, I went to control panel, then Printers, right clicked and shared it. I also enabled file and printer sharing in the Network and Sharing Center. However, when I am on either one of the other two laptops (the ones from which I want to access the printer wirelessly) I go to "add printer", choose the second option "Add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer", but nothing can be found. I can only find the printer when I do the same thing from the laptop that is connected to the printer via usb.

I have downloaded and installed the printer driver on all computers. Can anyone help? Thanks

The Canon MF4450 is not a wireless model. You need a wireless printer if you want to access it from one or more wireless laptops.
