Wireless printingI 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 Windows Support Center www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm a print server of some kind.
