| 770760 | 2009-05-04 01:01:00 | If I have a computer with wireless networking and a wireless printer can I connect the two without going through a network? | McGinty48 (14880) | ||
| 770761 | 2009-05-04 01:16:00 | USB? Or if it has ethernet your could use that too | Blam (54) | ||
| 770762 | 2009-05-04 01:40:00 | Don't quote me on this - but I think I've seen a setup with a wireless brother inkjet and a PC, seperate of a wireless router. All you can do is run the setup CD and see if it detects the printer. |

Thats an open invitation to " Quote" :p I have seen and setup a couple of Epsons that customers have had that have a wireless connection on them - no need to go through a router - as Wratterus said, when installing there was an option in the setup CD to detect the wireless. |

| 770764 | 2009-05-04 05:55:00 | You can get a wireless print server. Installed a D-Link one the other day. Wasn't too hard, as long as you know your wireless setup. Just follow the instructions that come with it. Jeff. |

| 770766 | 2009-05-05 22:07:00 | If I have a computer with wireless networking and a wireless printer can I connect the two without going through a network? It's going to be via a network in some way, probably an Ad-Hoc wifi network, which should be suitable for your requirements. |

| 770767 | 2009-05-05 23:47:00 | AFAIK most WiFi printers dont support ad-hoc, only infrastructure mode. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
