I can easily plug printer into my router- will I then be able to print from my wireless connected laptop?

Yes, when the DCP7065DN is connected to a router it will work fine with a wireless notebook/laptop. After the printer is connected to the router, install the DCP7065DN driver software on your laptop using the provided driver/utilities installation CD. After the initial installation screens, select the "Wired Network" install option.

Yes, absolutely. Ethernet cable from the printer to a free port on your router. Install the software on your laptop, and off you go!

If your printer is going to be located near your computer it doesn't matter if the router is wired or wireless. However if the printer is located away from your computer , as mine is, you need a wireless router.

This printer does not have the wireless feature. I plug mine directly into a router.

Yes, you can. You will have to set up your printer on your wireless network first. The printer itself does not have wireless, but if you connect it to your wireless network (via ethernet cord), your laptop will be able to see it while on the network.

Yes, it can be hooked up to routers that support connected printers (e.g. Apple routers) via USB cable. A different model, the p2015dn, also includes an ethernet jack to allow you to connect it to a router via ethernet cable. For what it's worth, I owned this printer, and while it worked well for me for 2-3 years, it broke soon after the warranty period and HP would have charged over half the cost of the printer to fix it. So I replaced it with a much cheaper Brother (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081TYO72/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and have been very happy with it -- built-in wi-fi printing, iOS-compatible AirPrint, duplex. It's been great for the 6+ months I've had it.

Can't tell you for sure. But I do have it set up to print wireless from my computer.

Scott M. is correct. The printer does not have wireless capability. But if you have a router for a home network, connect the printer to a port on the router with an Ethernet cable. Then every device that can talk to the router can see and use the printer. In our house we have three laptops and an iPad all using the printer without difficulty.

NO. But there's an easy way to make it wireless.Just use a wirelless access point. connect the printer to it with a cat5 cable.Configure the wireless access point to act as a wireless client bridge to connect to your main WIFI network.I suggest you purchase a WIFI AP on which you can change the firmware to DDWRT. so you can make it a wireless client.The cost of an AP is about $50 and if a wifi card would exist it would probably cost more than that.

Yes, setup is straightforward if you already have a WiFi network. Initially, you have to connect the printer to one of the networked computers via USB cable (included) and run the CD. This allows you to program the printer with the WiFi network name and encryption key. Once that is complete, you remove the USB cable and are good to go.

No, you need to have a wireless router for the printer to work via wireless.

Not directly. You can use the wireless through a network that is hooked up to it. You would need the x451dw which is wireless directly to/from the printer.
405310
yes. you will have to set up the networking in the printer, then your router should take care of the rest.

You need a router with USB port and printer capable or USB printer to Wifi adapter.Read http://www.ricksdailytips.com/convert-usb-printer-to-wireless/

You say that it is connected to a Modem - is your modem a wireless gateway? Or do you have your printer connected to your router (many people confuse routers and modems)? in either case, you should be able to access your printer wirelessly from your laptop directly through your wireless network.

I know what you taking about wireless printer, it should be connect the router.

Yes, I have two desktops that hook up via ethernet cable to the router and a laptop that is wireless. It was a very easy setup. Just hook up the printer to the router pop the disk in and install the drivers on each computer. Took 5 min. Been three months now and no issues.

If the printer has no wireless connection you must first put through USB port on a PC or laptop to be shared over the network, this router is to access internet anywhere but must be connected to the network cable. There is another product that can meet your need is called wireless print server, you can search and find Amazon.
