  • 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?

  • @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...

  • 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

  • too many pop up ads.

    thumps up if you agree

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

  • 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

  • omg i just dont understand this

  • 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,

  • 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.
