    So Ive got a hp colour laserjet cp3525n and a bog standard netgear router. Ive connected the ethernet cable from the printer to the router. So what do I do next so I can use the printer on the other pcs and laptops.

    thanks

    Basically you need to give your printer an IP address usually done through the printer display but sometimes through a utility on the CD's included.

    Then install the driver (the CD should Auto run and take you through this) and when asked for what port use standard TCP/IP and put in the address you assigned the printer.

    Generally HP have fairly simple step by step guides so just try follow that and see how you get on.
