To Set Up a Printer on Multiple Computers
Although several computers can be connected to the same wireless router, each computer may be assigned a
different SSID.
If the SSIDs assigned by the wireless router are not handled as the same network, then each computer is effectively
connected to a different network. When you start setting up the printer from computer A, the printer is added to
the same network as computer A allowing computer A to print from it.
