Wireless Printing

by acj003 Feb 27, 2009 12:09AM PST

I have a Toshiba Satellite M-45 Laptop and a Hewlett Packard printer. My OS is XP Windows. I have wireless internet service and would like to be able to print without having my laptop physically connected to my printer. Do I have to purchase a special printer for wireless printing?

Thanks. ACJ

I'm going to write yes.

Here's why. Yes there are wifi print servers but I find most find them challenging to impossible to setup. The printers that come with wifi servers are often a lot easier. Not simple, just simpler than a printer server box.
