I've got 2 old boxes and one laptop running pcLos and connected to the internet both ethernet and wireless, and my wife's school macbook is running wireless as well.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to make them all see each other or to share a printer. Is there a thread for the basics of home networking or a primer thread? I didn't see any stickies and a search for networking basics or primer or for dummies turned up no results.

I'd like to rtfm, if someone could point me towards it please.
thanks

First, welcome to PCLinuxOS. Second, "rtfm" is forbidden here.
Third, does this help? --

Hi pbmax ,

about the shared printer: there are options to share the printer in CUPS (server, where the printer is physically connected) and there are option to print to a network printer (client side, ipp printer). This is relatively easy in PClinuxOS, using the control center, don't know about MacBook, but considering that Apple bought CUPS shouldn't be a problem, probably there you need to access the CUPS administration interface from a browser pointing to http://localhost:631
