Good evening all,

I have a friend that I was able to set up his Compaq laptop to get Internet
connectivity using a Linksys WRT300N router.  The router is hooked up to a
DSL modem, and there is *no* other computer using the modem--just the
Compaq.  He's very happy with the set-up, and has coverage anywhere in the
house.

Here's where I'm lost.  He has an HP PSC2400 Photosmart all-in-one printer,
fax, copier, that *NORMALLY* would hook up to his laptop via USB cable.

Is there any way that he can set up his all-in-one printer to print
wirelessly also?  I would think he could, but maybe with additional
hardware.  I also have no idea how I would configure his XP Pro OS to do
this, like what settings might have to be changed, and *where* those
settings lie.

I'm sorry for being so long winded, and probably asking a stupid question to
begin with.

Many TIA,
Curt
