Setting up wireless printing..?


hey guys,

i'm moving in other half , we're looking hook printer can both use - i'm assuming can done through wireless network. we're both working macs, 3 in each running sl, , printer canon pixma ix4000. i've looked getting airport router don't have funds spare @ moment :( - wondering if it's possible connect printer directly through router without having fork out excessive amounts of cash?

thanks!
 

from google can see printer isn't wireless/ethernet one. usb only.

have couple of options. router usb port supports printers, apple airport ones. 'standard' router doesn't have usb port , won't able connect device.

enable printer sharing on mac. if leave printer plugged mac , enable printer sharing in system preferences other macs on network can share it. downside mac plugged in must switched on.

there adapters can plug usb on printer , allow wireless printing. unfortunately many unreliable , may more hassle worth.
