Converting Printer to wireless

Oct 8th, 2007

I have an HP Color LaserJet 4500 which has a parallel and serial port. I would like to use the printer in a wireless mode but I have to convert the parallel to USB to accept a wireless router.

Any suggestions?

Sincerely,

Crafty

You can buy wireless print servers that have paralell ports (these are cheaper than the usb ones??!!)

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

if your printer has an eithernet port you can use a wireless bridge to connect it to the network. They work well and most of them have a few eithernet ports to use if you need to place it with a few printer. or other devices.
