A laptop downstairs is connected to a printer and i was wondering, if i could send from my desktop upstairs a file that needs to be printed to the laptop. Or in a way my word document is added to the laptops printing que. Both computers have bluetooth, how do i do this?
 
Yes it is possible. Are the two computers connected in a network together already and do you have a router? If you don't have a router then you could get one and have it upstairs connected to the desktop and if your laptop doesn't have one already, get a wireless card for your laptop. Once the desktop and laptop are in the same network you can do stuff like create shared folders and printer sharing. Enable printer sharing on the laptop and then the desktop should be able to print from the laptop when it is turned on.
 
Hi thanks for the response. I have the router downstairs and i use a wireless usb adapter for the desktop upstairs. Exactly what must i do to get then interacting in the network? Both computers connect to the internet with the router wirelessly.
 
i think on your pc you go to start then printers and faxes, add a printer, a network printer or a printer connected to another computer then browse for a printer and hopefully you can find it
