Hi,
I would use a workgroup on the systems, create shares on the Win7 box, share the laser printer and connect the other printer wirelessly, so you could print to the Epson from the XP machines when the 7 machine is off.

Hello,
I've got a setup that I'm wanting to share some resources pc to pc. The router is a belkin f5d7231-4, it's wireless as well as having some ethernet ports. In to this a win7 home premium box is plugged. This box has attached to it two printers, one via parralel port it is a brother laser printer, the other via usb, but has wireless capability, an epson stylus nx400 it's a printer, scanner, copier and can as I said do wireless.
The two other machines are windows xp laptops one here the other roaming but comes back. What I'd like to do is share some files from the 7 box and allow the xp machines to get to them, and to share files from the xp box and allow the 7 box to get at them. For the printers I'd like to share the laser attached to the 7 box and also to get the epson off of a USB connection to the 7 box and have it go full wireless so that all three machines can get to it.
I don't have a domain, and I've understood that 7 does things differently in terms of sharing, I would use a workgroup setup if these were all xp machines.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks. Dave.
