VellfireS 4th Gear January 6, 2011 Share January 6, 2011 Dear Fellow Bros / Sis, I am having a small problem now.. I bought a wireless printer 2 days back.. It was a wireless one.. Thinking it is just connecting the Printer directly to the Comp via WiFi , I tried.. But it did not succeed. I tried reading the manual also did not understand.. So how do I connect it to the Comp? I have 3 laptops at home.. C an all 3 be connected? Do I need a wireless router? Thanks P.S. The model is Canon MP558 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently using a router by Starhub.. Can I use it? And what is the procedure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicz Clutched January 6, 2011 Share January 6, 2011 (edited) Is the starhub router a wireless router? If so, the printer should be able to detect the wireless network. Try to set the printer to connect to the wireless network. Edited January 6, 2011 by Nicz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
