[SOLVED] Can a non wifi printer be converted to wifi

DS Negi · 10-23-2009, 12:58 AM

Hi,

I need your help.

Is it possible to connect an old non wifi printer with wifi laptop wirelessly, using wifi adaptor on the printer?

Is it possible to use any “small blue tooth headset” with laptop to chat on VoIP? Basically I am looking for a very small blue tooth head set for single ear, like the one that is used with mobile phones and that does not look odd to use in the public.

Are all the VOIP standard cordless phones are compatible with all the VoIP phone service providers. I am looking to buy a standard cordless phone for making VoIP phone calls at home with the VoIP service provider like Youtring.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I was wondering the very same thing a while ago and came across this thread. It seems that to adapt non wifi printers to work with wifi laptops may end up being more expensive than buying new printers - malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080315044708AAFleop

You can add a wireless print server. Of course, the printer doesn't have to be wireless to allow printing from a wireless workstation. After all, you aren't carrying the printer around, are you?
