Perhaps this makes sense

PC wants to print a file. There are two ways to do it.

1. Connect the printer to the PC directly (if the printer allows it)

2. If not then you need some sort of intermediary to sit between the PC and the printer. Normally this would a router.

3. One thing that does occur to be is can the wifi card in the PC be configured to route all traffic to the printer avoiding the router. I cant think of a way.

I started earily than hew back in the 80s first with X25 and then IP
