HI I have a wireless laptop connected to broadband.
I want to purchase a wireless all in one printer mainly for scanning.
1) Can I scan on the all in one and have it sent wireless to my latptop?
2) What equipment do I need to achieve this?
Many Thanks
Peter

Staples have a deal on a HP all in one for £99 with a free HP wireless kit worth £80 at the moment.
That'd do what you want.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for replies But can anyone explain how wireless all in one works ie.
Will my wireless laptop connect directly to wireless all in one or do I have to have any other equipment for it to work.
Finally will it also be possible to scan and send these to my laptop wireless/
Thanks for replies its just I am new to all this.

I believe that it works but just to prove the point will do it from my laptop, and get back to you, I have my printed wired to my router, but the laptop is totally wireless. Is this the same as you would have? Theoretically I could have my printer wireless too. Be back in a mo.

Hi donny-gal
I plan just to use my laptop for the wireless all in one.
Thanks for your help.0 -
On my old wirless laptop set up with XP, I loaded a couple of sheets in the sheet feeder, then told it to scan from the HP Solution Software provided with it and it went through the same function if a little slower than my wired lan desktop, and scanned the two sheets to the laptop hard drive. Is this what you wanted? Also I can sent a print to the printer from my laptop and again it works via the lan.

Thats great thanks. So just to confirm it would seem you can sacn from the printer to laptop wireless without any other equipment.
Thanks
