networking a printer

[robroyzz]

I have a linksys wireless USB adapter which connects one of my pcs to my linksys broadband router at the 802.11b data rate. I can also connect my pc directly to one of the router's 4 ports.

Can I connect that USB adapter to my HP Photosmart 9350 printer's USB port to give me network access to my printer? If so, how do I set up the comm. software to obtain this capability? Using Win XP Home SP2.

Thanks

You can't just plug in a wireless access device into a printer. It would have to be a wireless print server. Unless your printer has a built in print server, then it might work.

No.
There are 3 ways to setup a printer as a network printer:
1. connect printer to router IF printer has own built in wifi adapter or own built in ethernet port.
2. connect printer to a separate print server and connect print server to router:

3. connect printer to one computer and share it over the network.
