Connecting A960 printer to wireless network
Does anybody know how to connect the A960 printer to a wireless network without connecting it via USB cable to a PC or notebook first? Is this even possible? If so, what hardware is required and how would you go about connecting the printer to the same wireless network as a wireless-connected notebook and getting the two devices to communicate to one another.

What Dell printers can be wirelessly networked by connecting them to a router/print server. I just bought an A960.Rick_Boston

I've configured the Lexmark 6170 (sister to A960) on both Windows Workgroup under both wired and wireless off shared networked PC. And tested it out with Linksys WIFI G Print Server...worked fine under both configurations.
Caveats...the Lexmark version has drivers for WIN98 thru XP, and the 6170 is networkable with everything from NetGear to Linksys to Lexmark Print Servers (wired or wireless). The Dell 960 only has print drivers for XP and 2000.
Also sub $1000.00 AIO's...only printer portion is networkable...the AIO scanning, faxing and copying is strictly single user only.

i8apretzel,
Thank you for visiting the Dell Community Forum.
The only way I know of connecting the A960 to a network is to connect it to one system on the network. You can find information on connecting the A960 printer to a network in the following Dell Knowledge Base article:
How Do I Share the Dell™ A960 All-In-One Printer with Other Computers on My Home Network?
