Default Printer connected to a wireless router
Quick question, can I connect my printer (not connected to a PC) to a wireless router and then have wireless computers print to it?

cheers

Only if you use something like a an external printer server. Currently have my epson 740 connected via an HP jet direct which connects to my ADSL Router. Can be a bit of a pain to configure, especially as the HP Jet direct is set to DHCP as default and can cause conflicts with any other PC whilst using DHCP. Once you get the HP configures to a static IP address then it's just a case of using the software on each PC to connect it up.

This will do the job at the fraction of the price:
