bluetooth/IR adapter. Or you can buy a small network print server device. -- Show quoteHide quoteMarian Gutu MCP, MCSAs, MCSEs Be nice, society already sucks!

You can turn your printer into a Network printer by buying a Printer Server Device, and plug it into a regular port on the Router. Examples, http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Subcategory.asp?Subcategory=387 Or, get a Network ready printer ( http://www.ezlan.net/faq#AIO ). Jack (MVP-Networking).
