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."

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.

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.
