Can I connect my laptop to my printer even though the printer isnt wireless?
-
I have my printer in my bonus room but it isnt a wireless printer. just a standard HP photosmart printer. But I was wondering if its possible for my laptop to print to that printer since maybe the laptop and desktop the printer is plugged into is on the same network.

If you setup your network that way, yes. You would just have to set the printer to be shared across your network.

You can, but i think if your printer is connected to your desktop that your desktop has to be on too.

Yes; as long as its in the same network; in this case, your network is probably wireless, but even if it isnt you should just be able to go to control panel-printers-add printer, then it will proably search for a printer, once you find the one you want, just follow the simple steps and PRINT A TEST PAGE to verify you've connected.
