I have three lap tops using network router. When I try to scan it only gives my sons lap top as its destination. How do I add me and my wifes to the option window?

Your quest is confusing.You need to install the printer in all your laptops in order to do a print job.If you want to scan a job from each laps all need to be with the printer wireless configuration.

What is the Operating system on the laptop ?
If it is XP then in the bottom right hand corner you will find Wireless network connection ( looks like 1 computer monitor). Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is windows Vista, then in the bottom right hand corner you will find 2 computer monitor icon. Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is Windows 98/ME/2000 then use the adapter utility to connect to the wireless network.
For MAC you will see the AIRPORT icon at the top.

Check the wireless settings of the router first . Make sure that yopu have all the wireless settings of the router. If you are not sure about the settings, then open the router set up and check the settings.

My printer on my mfc-210c want print any document from my computer,the ink is fine,it even print out the help list,but want print from my lap top

Hi-

Did you install the driver in your laptop? is it connected via USB or wireless? check printers and faxes under control panel and try canceling the documents in your printers queue if theres any, right click and cancel document and try reprinting.

Hope this helps
