I believe you simply right click the printer on your other machine, share it, then it will show in your laptop on network places, just right click it and IIRC there is an option to use that printer as your dfault

Yeah but you gotta pay them don't you? don't they activate your mac address on the router once you pay?
I could be wrong, but I know in Starbucks, the T-Zone hot spot there you log on and it asks for a card number and it gives you like 7 hours for £20 or something... it's done via proxy login that you can't bypass.

They're RADIUS server aren't they? You get a user/pass and some web interface thing, network addresses are automatically negotiated.

Is there a market for this kind of thing?
I mean would it be a good move to go into business discovering unsecure Wi-Fi broadcasts and charging to secure them?
