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!

A wireless printer is going to have it's own wireless transmitter/receiver built in. Obviously you need to plug it into mains power, but there should be no other connection.

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.

Very many thanks - I shall have a go and keep my fingers crossed
my son set up my new Epson Wifi printer last night - and yes it needs a power socket but I would add that we also needed a USB lead to complete the installation process but this was not supplied

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
