wireless printing

Options
Hi all

I'm going round and round in my research on this.

I have an excellent Epsom laser printer that I'd like to make wireless. It may be more complicated than its worth but could someone point me in the right direction?

    I've just connected my Canon printer to print wirelessly and found it fairly straightforward.
    The first thing to find out is if your router has a WPS button (its usually on the back of the router marked WPS). If it has, then set it up so that it connects with your wifi. When that is sorted follow the setup for your printer.


    If you do not have WPS then you will need to connect the printer to the router with wire to set up the connection and then follow the setup procedure for your printer. You remove the wired connection when the setup is finished.


    I got the information by googling 'canon pixma ip7250 wireless setup'. Try the same with your model.

    Obvious question, is the printer capable of being connected wirelessly?
