[Simply Computers] Re: wireless printer?

 

Yes ... and no.

If you buy a printer with a wireless adapter built in, it's fairly simple to set up.

If your router has a USB port that allows you to connect a printer and thus turn the printer into a wireless printer, then it is also fairly easy to setup.

If your router does not have a USB input for printers, and if your printer does not have a wireless adapter built in, then it's harder.

You will need to purchase a wireless "printer server". Many companies sell them. I used an Airlink 101 (a cheap brand from Fry's) for years.
