Can I make my regular printer a wireless one with some kind of adapter?

Q. I have a regular printer connected to my desktop computer. Now I'm buying a laptop and I was wondering if there is some kind of adapter that can turn my printer (which I really like) into a wireless one so I don't have to be connecting it to the laptop in order to print.
Thank you guys.

A. Unfortunately I do not believe you can do that without quite a bit of networking knowledge and experience. You'd have to attach the wireless device to the printer, fix an IP address on it, then install the printer on the laptop through a wireless router using that IP address.

So unless that makes sense then the short answer is "No."

Why do people in Christchurch and Auckland swim?

Q. Why do people from Christchurch and Auckland swim in pool and then throw bikes at asians who are just getting their printers fixed and putting back on their feet?

Answers as silly as possible please!

LOL 4LIFE

A. Silly you! I can't believe you don't know the answer to this.....!!!

It is because the seagulls flew upside down on Wednesday when the train broke down in the tunnel and the passengers ate prawns while playing ping pong.

How do I connect to a home network printer from a laptop running Vista?

Q. The printer is connected to a desk top computer via usb. The desk top is running XP and is connected to DSL via lan cable and then a wireless router is used. Two other laptops (running XP) in the house have no trouble using the printer. I have been unable to get the laptop running vista to recognize the printer attached to the desk top in any way,

A. I had this exact problem. Spent hours downloading new drivers and trying to fix settings, but nothing worked. Looking at other help sites, it became obvious that this is happening to everyone! The only solution (that seems to work) is to download Network Magic. It's really sad that you need to get another piece of software to get two Microsoft operating systems to "talk" properly, but this worked flawlessly and immediately. No problems since I did this.

How can I use my Xerox Phaser 860 printer without buying a new maintenance kit?

Q. I bought a new maintenance kit and did not use my printer much. Now I can't use my printer any more because the maintenance kit expired because it is only good for one year. Is there any way you can get around this.

A. Not likely. The maintenance kit contains special silicone that's used to coat the drum to keep the solid ink from sticking to it too much and allowing it to give proper print quality without contaminating & possibly damaging the printer. Over time the kit will dry out and no longer work properly, hence the limited time frame it's allowed to be used for. This is the way Xerox can ensure proper print quality and reduced print problems and service calls that can be quite costly to fix if the printer is not properly maintained. I know it's a pain because you didn't use it that much, but solid ink printers are a very unique print technology that requires special care to maintain it properly.

A good color laser printer is the least maintenance intensive printer for extended periods of light printing. Solid ink printers like the 860 are designed for a more frequent print usage and do require extra care & proper maintenance to maintain them at their peak performance. You should also always use the Xerox brand of solid ink cartridges to prevent printhead contamination & print quality problems as their ink is a much higher quality ink than any aftermarket brand. If you're not going to be using the printer for an extended period, you should power it down so that the ink is not constantly being heated and causing some evaporation & potential contamination from the constant heating.
