Converting my printer to wireless!

[Tim.]

Ok heres the deal,


I purchased a HP photosmart the other day, and then discovered it wouldnt fit on my desk, so its currently hidden away in my wardrobe gavering dust until i find a solution to running a 12m cable across my room.

I'd quite like the idea of going wireless with my printer, my pc in my room has a wireless card, so what do i need? If this is obviously possible?

i don't actually think this is possbile, you would have to buy a new printer as far as im aware.
but if anyone knows of any ways i'm interested in this too instead of buying a wireless printer :P

Buy a wireless printer server, belkin do some etc... Usb plugs into a server which is connected to a wifi network, install the software and walla.

They're expensive as far as I know, but the only solution.

They make home use printers for like 150 quid wireless these days.

Just buy a wireless printer, much easier.. they ain't even that expensive anymore.. around £70-100.

I've got a wireless Usb Hub (Belkin £50) and plug my printer into it, then the usb hub into my router works great, and there like another 5 slots to plug usb devices into :P
