    Canon MultipassF80. Linksys Wireless Router


    The story so far....

    Although this says "laptop computing" its actually a printer problem!

    Have a Canon Multipass F80 - which is located too far from the CPU (see why a laptop would be nice?)

    Can not buy a wired solution - its greater than 30 feet.

    Can not move the printer (my client says it does not look good near her computer in the new layout of the office).

    Would like to get the printer onto the network - It has a usb-b connection but no wireless card.

    Called Canon - they said "no way" and proceeded to try and upsell a new printer. (Big surprise).



    Did they give me correct info?

    Or is there a way to hook the printer to a wireless adapter and therefore get it on the network?
