There may be a phone jack from the old phone system in each room...
connect the cable modem's phone line to the wall jack, and all the jacks in
the house will be active. You may want to disconnect the old wires going to
the outside world, as they cause a reduction in the signal strength.
I have seen some printers that don't want to work with networks... but it
is rare. I have had some trouble recently with older operating systems
mixed with newer opsys not wanting to print on certain printers. Right now,
my Epson All-in-one under Win7 will not play on the network with the older
Vista computers.
Come on, Microsoft... this is not rocket science! This should work! Why
do you keep changing the printer network protocols and breaking the printer
drivers?

Here I am in my daughter's place in LA. Can you imagine? Almost was not
able to make the trip: from Belo Horizonte to Miami, 7.30 hours...the from
Miami to LA 5.30 hours...squeezed there...in the back...
But now here I am with my "expertise" trying tp fix their computers. One
HP Quadcore and a Toshiba Laptop connedted in a wireless network. At least
two problems:
1. They have a Cable Modem and the phone line comes in at the TV room and
is not wired through the house. The printer is a all-in-one Epson
WorkForce 310. Well in order for the Epson to send faxes we must connect
the phone line in the TV room...Not too close...The same to connect the
Epson to the network in the modem, who also is there in the TV room? Too
complicated to pass these two wires. Any shortcut?
2. The way it is I am trying to make the Laptop to print in the Epsom
printer that is connected to the HP...through the wireless network. Have
tryig all I think I knew...can't do it!...
Help!
Is the turkey being prepared? Any advice on how to prepare it?
Happy Tnaksgiving, for me the best holiday of them all...
Marcio
