Re: Wireless Printing

Not sure how you've got your computer(s) set up, but we have a PC with a USB Printer wired in to the router, and then a laptop and an iMac wirelessly in the house. You can set up wireless printing without buying an extra piece of kit. Not the simplest thing to do, but not rocket science either.

Re: Wireless Printing

How would I do this just plug the printer into the wireless router that I have? with ethernet connector?

Re: Wireless Printing

You plug the printer into the Print Server and then plug the Print Server into the router and install the drivers for your printer on your PC and connect to the Print Server and bob's your alleged uncle
