How to Setup a Wireless Network Printer
Wireless network printers have a network interface card installed into the printer itself. Instead of connecting the printer to a router or a computer, the printer stands alone and connects to your wireless network. You can place the wireless printer in a central location convenient to all of your computers, or in an out of the way place so it's not in the middle of everything.
