    I am after a cheap(but good) printer that i can connect to my laptop and my brothers pc.

    My brothers pc is connected to my sky router via an ethernet cable, my laptop is connect via wireless.

    What is the best printer to do this with or the easiest option?

    Thanks in advance

    e-mail stuff to work and print it there

    thus saving on costly paper, ink, printers, cables etc.

    Hope that helps.

    It ain't got network on it, but you should be able to share the printer from your brothers PC's. Although this obviously would require both PC & laptop being powered on at the same time.

    If you want a network printer, the WiFi PC World are advertising on TV will take some beating. (C4380 I think is the model)
    £80 and it connects wirelessly so the printer doesn't even need to be in the same room as the router.
