The printer in question is not hooked to any other computer, she uses it only for her wireless laptop, she'd ;love to be able to have the printer across the room and be able to send to the printer while she's doing work with the wireless on the couch or in the bed

You need a wireless print server.

I'm on Apple, so I don't know if this will help, but: If there's a USB port on the router, you might be able to hook it directly into the wireless router. At least that's how it works with Apple. Basically plug the printer into the Airport USB port, turn it on, and do a search for new printers. I'd bet there's a way to do it with the wireless router on a PC also, but you might have to buy a wireless printer router. If you have a knowledgeable computer place close by, maybe they could help you. Here are a couple of links I found to wireless print servers:

Hope this helps, but I'd definitely touch base with someone about compatibility, first.

I know it can be done because my daughter can print through the router from her laptop upstairs to the printer connected to the desktop downstairs. Many times the printer will suddenly start spitting out documents while I'm working beside it and it wasn't me that ordered them. My daughter hooked it up. She's my in-house computer guru. She's always telling me to leave my printer on, even if I turn off the computer. At least teenagers have some use lately.
