    Connecting USB printer to Wireless Network

    I'm just wondering how to do this, an Epson SX105,

    Am i correct in thinking i will need a: Wireless USB Printer Adapter

    If so does this mean i can move the printer to another room in the house, and it will communicate with my Netgear Router?

    If so, whats a cheapish option, that will work with my Netgear and Epson items.

    Theoretically yes all you need to do is buy a wireless print server, however I have check both the dlink and the linksys products and neither of them support your printer. I note your printer is an inkjet, a printserver would probably be 60 quid anyway more than your printer lists for, have you considered buying a wireless printer? This things are sold like razor blades, the cost is in the ink not the device.

    I bought this one for £20 on offer new, about 2 months ago, i rarely use it, its just something to have around the house if/when the need arises.

    However, i would like to make it wireless, and have it setup outside the Office and more central in the house, i just needed an idea if that was the correct item i needed, i will buy one 2nd hand.

    As for the Wireless printer, i did consider that to at the time of purchasing this one, but the cheapest i could see is £90 ish, and at the time i didn't have the cash spare so i went for the cheaper option
