Your router may have a Prtinter output. If not look into a wireless Print Server. Check Tiger Direct.

I know you can do it, because mine is set up that way. After hours of frustration trying to do it myself, I finally had some kid set it up for me, lol. Just to show you how ignorant I am about how it works, I thought you hooked up the printer cable to the router?? Okay, I'll shut up now.

Question: Is the printer plugged into any other computer?

Assuming that the answer is no, you can get a wireless print server and plug the printer into that. In my case, I have a HP Laserjet 2600N which is hooked up to my wireless router.

However, most of the features of the AOI system will generally not work with a wireless print server. You'd have to directly plug in to use the scanner for example.

Is the printer hooked to a wired PC? If so, you can share the printer on the wired PC and connect that way. If not, but the printer has a cat5 jack, it can be plugged into the the router as long as the internal printserver is configured for DHCP (most are by default). If none of the above, you will need a wireless print server with USB port for the printer.

It sounds like you need a wireless print server for your printer.

I doubt it came with wireless built-in, but it is something you can purchase. Linksys and others make such devices for just this need.

If you are XP, go to the printer Icon. Right click onit and select SHARE printer.

The printer the computer is hooked to must be powered on and you can also in Network create a network connection to it.

It is really simple with XP.

Anything you pretty much want to do can be done as long as you are willing to pay for all the add on goodies you need.
