Does a printer have to be wireless, or are there adaptors to make it wireless?

Question

If there are adaptors, which ones would you recommend?

If there are no adaptors, what good printer (and preferably scanners) would you recommend that are wireless compatible?

Just tired of having to email/bluetooth files from laptop to desktop.

Answer 1

i know how u feel, no, there arent any adapters, but epson and HP offer a wide range of wirless printers, but honestly although i think the HP quality is higher, its very complicated than other printer brands

Answer 2

Yes there is , some will even support a Multifunction Printer so that everyone can use all the functions

you could try using an apple aiport express. It has a USB port that allows you to connect a printer. I can print to it using windows XP and Mac OS machines without any problems (canon mfp600, or something like that). Plus you get the added advantage of being able to play music through iTunes to it, or use it to extend the coverage of your wireless network if you have an airport extreme base station.
