Wireless printer
10 Answers
This is probably a really daft question but I have got to help a friend install her wireless printer. My own isnt wireless and I have no problem with that - my question is does the wireless printer need plugging into an ordinary electric socket or a telephone point - on the picture in the instructions it looks like a telephone socket but one the instructions it seems to say a power socket. Sorry to seem so daft about this!

You will need a wireless router to find it and add it to your network though, so you can use it. The few times I've tried to get a wireless printer working it's been a right pain.

Managed to set it up but chickened out with the wireless bit and set it up not wireless - however the friend was quite impressed as the set up disc didnt work and I managed to do it without the disc - she didnt know I was bluffing my way through it and she was as impressed as I was - thanks to all for feedback
