Can I make my printer wireless?

Can I make my HP LaserJet 1320tn a wireless printer?

  • My printer is now hooked up to my parents' computer in the living room, which is locked most of the time with a user password to keep us kids off of it. We have a wireless router for our internet service, so I pick up the WiFi in my room with my desktop using a Cisco WiFi searcher that plugs into my USB port. Instead of begging my parents for the computer password every time they are away and I need to print something, or waiting for them to return when I have school deadlines to meet, is there some way I can turn my printer into a wireless printer that can print from my desktop at the back of the house?

  • Answer:

    If the printer is not wireless to start with then no you can't. However if both yours & your parents computer are on a network using that router, & not just using it for internet access then you can print to it from your room. However your parent computer would need to have printer sharing enabled, then you install that printer on your computer. You will need the password to your parents computer to set things up, but once set up as long as their computer it is turned on and at the log in screen then you can print. Of course this will also allow you to print even if they are using their computer for something else.

The n at the end of the name means that it's a wired network printer. It's not wireless, so you can't put it anywhere in your house and print to it, but you can connect it to your router with an ethernet cord and then print from any computer in your house, including a laptop or desktop with WiFi (and since the printer is not connected to a computer, you won't need to turn anything on to use it). EDIT: The other poster is describing sharing the printer with it connected to a computer. As it's a network printer and can be connected directly to the network, this isn't necessary.
