Christy,
I'm networked here - we have my computer - the main one. My son's is hardwired
with the wireless linkseys router - and my old computer is still wireless. My
daughter's room is now wired, as is my guest bedroom/sewing room. My son and
his friend fairly recently wired the house, since his bedroom computer was
getting kicked offline too often for him.
anyway - it was easy for him to set up the computers to print from them to the
main printer.

Bob,
Are there settings on my computer I will need to change for her to go
online? If she needs my printer she can probably just put her document on
my computer and then use my printer. Unless it is easy to set her up to
share my printer.
