My setup is" 3 pc's in one building off a WRT54G, then a WAP54g , set
as AP,hardwired to the WRT and another WAP in remote building set as
repeater . I had one pc with USB adapter running for over 2 weeks,in remote building, no Problem, I could see its the shared printer from my office pc in other building,.But when I added 2nd pc with USB adapter in remote building ,I cannot see shared .

I have sharing enabled, on the PC where the printer is,, I have printer
and file sharing enabled on 2nd pc..When I go to add network printer,
browse for printer it see's all the printers on the network, but when I
select one, comes back and says can't connect to printer..Driving me
nuts..
TIA, Ted O.

Please check out this link and follow the steps.

Also if you have any third party firewalls or security suites disable them until you get the printer share working. One other thought is that in order to share files or printer the remote user has to be a valid user on the computer with the printer.
