Hi. Have just bought a new printer (HP Photosmart B109N), and my cunning plan was to have a wired connection to the main PC, and then a wireless connection to the rest of the house. However in order to do this, I believe I have to connect the printer directly to the router. This would necessitate having a cable that will fit into the printer with an ethernet connection on the other end.
My problem is that this sort of cable is not supplied with the printer, and I cannot seem to find one despite much use of Google!
Am I correct that I need such a cable, and if so, could someone point me toward where I might get one.
Thanks.
BTW, I am on the XXL broadband with the Netgear router that comes with that.
