Computers Tips : How to Make a Printer Wireless

[dorenelwillis]

The question was how to make a printer wireless. You do the dark and stormy night explanation of a wireless modem, then tell me to go out and buy a wireless printer because it is just too hard to connect the printer. Wrong. You can buy a Linksys Wireless G Multi Functional Print Server. You plug it into the router and you plug the printer's usb port into the server. Why is that so hard to explain?

I was skeptical when I saw that it's eHow channel... i watched it anyway... and it seems my skepticism was justified. How is hooking up an Ethernet cable W I R E L E S S ?? omg

[UnderPrivs]

@jchahine To print wirelessly from a laptop that is using WiFi on your network. It's wireless for the other computers. Much like a "cordless phone" still has to be plugged in to the phone line at the base. Common sense...

[spwillmac]

too many pop up ads.

thumps up if you agree

[MatheusLegenda]

There's also the option of getting a Bluetooth receiver, no?

[MrTOBE209]

what else you could do as well is some printers are usb

you can get a female adater to a cat5 adapter ebay for 0.99

from ther plub the usb the cat5 to the router walla

[shehab330]

omg i just dont understand this

[wuntyme]

u cant make a normal printer wireless........... if u connect to a router or any cable. that means its NOT WIRELESS L M A O,

[wazahwazah]

wow great video. Question "What's the easiest way to make a printer wireless?" Answer "Buy a wireless printer." Awesome, now I will buy a wireless printer and throw out my existing wired printer. Thanks dude. Whoever you are. Can I just cut the wires in wired printer and make it wireless? No? Oh, ok.

[wiirulez123]

do you think im a dumb?

[xpresidentrulez]

if I have to buy printer that is already wireless..then y am seeing your video and wasting my time

[jeehoo22]

that was NOT helpful.

[ohnonik]

The last part made me sad, I just bought new ink for my old junker printer I got at a yard sale. -$60, and still old junker printer. A wireless computer exclusive network frustrates me; When I am out of ink next time, I guess I have to get a wireless printer. . . :[

[CyberNetTV]

ok... to make your printer wireless, get a brand new wireless printer. urm, no -that's not what i came here for.....

[DavidRockin1]

@dazG123456 YOU GO GIRL! ;)

[dazG123456]

@DavidRockin1 Its funny because im a boy :)

[DavidRockin1]

@dazG123456 You sure? I thought the doctors cut the wrong cord.. :O

[dazG123456]

@DavidRockin1 I respect that come back

[DavidRockin1]

@dazG123456 lol?

[chidofu]

He did not make a printer wireless. He connected it by a wire to a router. Obviously people looking at this video are wondering how to set up a printer that is not close enough to the router to be plugged into it. Total waste of time.

[TheFatdemon3]

haha the ad was funny

[itsmetristan1]

Just get a airport for apple

[DavidRockin1]

my printer blew up, then my pc blew up, then my router blew up, then my other computes and servers blew up, then my home blew up and i died :(

[eastofakron2]

@DavidRockin1

[DavidRockin1]

Sabin madladin ate my cheezeburger... :'(

[xbox3s4]

[3DFULLHD]

just buy a wireless usb on ebay for 50$ and plug usb from printer on it and the usb wireless send signal to the usb computer , nothing complicated here !

[mitx212]

how is going to be more difficult? i would rather route my printer trough a computer already connected to my network, than spending hundreds on a "wireless ready printer". This has got to be the 5th+ video of his I've posted on, correcting him. come on!

[andybside]

This video is wrong. You DON'T need a printer with an ethernet port. It is NOT that hard. Just connect your printer to your main computer and "Share" the printer. Yes, you do need a router and everything networked, but it isn't that difficult. You can even print from a Mac to your printer connected to a PC.

[LowdenFretter]

@andybside Yes but that wouldn't be a completely wireless printer then would it. He's talking in this video about a totally wireless printer, not wired to any computer system. Do pay attention Bond :)

[vmandance]

your funny buy a wireles hahahaha

[opicakuz]

Can u help me, please? How can I upload full-width video to Youtube? Thank you.

[msn1406]

Now the Apple Airport (wireless router) has a USB port for a printer, Camera, or anything usb.

thank you Jonathan

[shahogner87]

THANK YOU

[melekatik]

you could also use a usb cable if the router has a usb port

[pilotman123321]

hello i am with sky inter net and iff i go out and buy a new router will it still work?

[NitekMuscle]

If your printer doesn't have an ethernet port, then you're SOL.

[PianoScience]

Just use Apple's routers(Airport Express, Airport Extreme, or Time Capsule), they have a USB port for a external hard drive or for a printer.

[NOTnicolekidman]

you're cute

[clavel89]
