    My printer doesn't have a wireless function but is there a way I can share it wirelessly with my home computers by adding a wireless usb stick, server or something onto it? I do have a wireless network at the moment between by computers. Can my non-host computer connect to the host computer's printer if it's connected to it?

    Or do I simply need to buy a printer that works wirelessly?

    Thanks for any help.

    If the printer is hooked to a pc via cable you can share it from that PC.. but if you want both PCs mobile you'll need a wireless print server...
