| What's the printer model? For what you described, you can use a wire to connect the printer to the router, but the printer cannot be connected wireless. However, without knowing much about your printer it'll be hard to say.

| It's a wired ethernet printer. You can connect it to your wireless system, but need a wireless print server. You can go here to get ideas on prices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...rver&x=18&y=27

| You're very welcome. You still should be able to wired the printer to the router, that way you can use any PC in the network to print.
