WiFi printer

Question

Hi All

I have a Latitude laptop with Wifi (and it works OK)

I have no other computor, so in essence have a network of one !!!

Will I be able to attach a WiFi printer to the laptop via the WiFi, as I have no Router?

Thanks In advance, Steve

Thanks Rick

I dont have the printer yet, but should have looked for the manual.

I was told by two others that this was not possible without a router

but you have shown me different.

Printer will be delivered tomorrow so fingers crossed !!

Thanks for your time and assistance

best regards

Steve

Steve,

Not sure of the make and model of your computer and operating system. I'm not exactly sure how Intel® My WiFi Technology works but it might or might not work.

Usually with a wireless rpinter, if you do not have a wireless router, you can set up most of the wireless printers using Ad-Hoc. The small problems with Ad-Hoc are that you have to connect to the printer each time you leave and come back.

Steve,   The Dell V313w Printer manual look at page 59.   Remember virus programs and firewalls will block communications.     Rick
