You can use buy a wireless print server with the printer, but I have
tried these before (two different types) and they were very
problematic and didn't work.
What has become available the past few months are printers (not
expensive) that have built-in wireless capability. I have an HP
printer that cost $88. It is not a multifunction printer (I don't
trust those), and works very well and has built-in wireless (WiFi not
Bluetooth). It set up on all my PCs just fine, even a Mac laptop. It
is not connected by hard-wire to any computer itself - it shows as a
printer on the Ethernet wireless (WiFi) in my home. |
