You probably need a wireless print server, what model of printer do you have? Do you have a wireless network set up?0

the printer is a canon m110 - I have a belkin wireless router/modem as have a desktop to connect when it is back from the repairers, but want the printer to be wireless for now.0

Is it a Pixma Mp 110 as I can't find it on Canons site?
Probably you need a Wireless Print Server try

Mind you a 5 metre usb cable will cost £5 from your local independent computer shop ( dont go to PC world as they are £15 - £20 dependent on length). A cable is by far the better solution if it suitsqui tacet consentire -
