Printer Help

I recently bought a new wirless/bluetooth compatable printer, and I am having trouble getting it set u, as I have 3 laptops which are all wirless, I have tried getting my computer to print wireless instead of usb. I also have a netgear router connected to the Pc downstair in the other bedroom,is there any thing else I need toget the printr to work. The printer I have is an Olivetti any_way photo wireless.

I don't know this particualr printer, but they are usually best set up connected by ethernet cable to the router, then removing the cable afterwards.

Re: Printer Help

So, have you actually connected the printer to the router, run the CD and installed it, then disconnected it and run the CD on the other computers?

Re: Printer Help

I have discovered that I need an adapter that plugs into the router called a print server so that the printer could print wireless on the network.

From your original post it sounded like it was network ready. Ah well, at least you're sorted.
