Can I use a wireless router as a wifi for a printer if it has a network lead.

Hi

I have a printer that is connected to a network via a ethernet lead. I also have a laptop that is wireless and I need to print from it but not through the network.

If I was to plug the lead from the network socket into the lan socket on a wireless router and then run a lead from one of the network sockets into the printer would it still print on the network and if I was to install the printer driver on my laptop would it print wireless?

Yes I have my printer wired to the router and I can print to it via wireless or wired device.

Brilliant.

Can I just check you installed the printer driver on your wireless device?

Yes I did just the driver not the complete software.
