Hello I have just bought a wireless laptop and was wandering how to set up a wireless printer thing so I could print from my laptop. I have a router if that helps. It is an ethernet router and the printer uses usb cables. So help!!!!!!!

If the printer uses USB cables its not a wireless printer is it?

just plug the USB cables into the laptop and install drivers, then you should be able to print.

i'm guessing you probably have the printer setup to a
desktop???? If so, share the printer from the desktop and
connect to it from the laptop.
