Can anyone give me some advice on wifi printers?

I would like to print from my laptop, and I'm looking for a wifi printer. My knowledge of the latest PC gadgets isn't the greatest, but I'm sure such a thing exists. Can anyone help, and perhaps give an indication as to how much I would expect to pay?

Help would be very much appreciated, cheers.

Wifi printers? Dont do it very unreliable. Get a printer which you can connect by ethernet to the router

What he said. Most Wi-Fi printers are truely awful, especially Lexmark ones. My current set up is sharing the printer from my PC to the wireless laptop. As long as both PC and printer are on, I can print wirelessly from my laptop.

Don't even need to do that...just connect one to your "main" pc (via USB) and connect the other computers on your wireless network to it using the add printer wizard entering the \\main pc name\printer name address

If this works, then you mate, are a legend.

Cheers for the help guys, looks like you've saved me bout £100 as well .

All Lexmark printers are awful. So I do dread to think what their wireless ones are like.

You'll need to share the printer before this will work. Get to your printers and faxes section, right click on the desired printer to share and select properties. Click on the sharing tab and tick the box to share then give your printer a network name. then the path "\\<your pc name here>\<your printer name here>" will work.



I concur, in fact the only good Lexmark is a broken Lexmark.
