Connecting an all-in-one "printer" wirelessly

Jun 15, 2005 6:11PM PDT

I just went trough the Weekend Project on sharing files and printers. I'd like to share my printer over Wi-Fi but I have an all-in-one and wonder if I can also share the scanning function. What do I need to change (possibly the Wi-Fi print server)?

But the jury is out if they have the software working proper.

... and it's an HP OfficeJet G55. Wondering if they only have a box to put next to the printer that allows to see the printer AND the scanner in the network, connecting on Wi-Fi. Or am I just dreaming?

It's likely just a dream.
