You can always wire it into it give it a fixed IP (ending 99 or something very high).
Set the print driver to network mode and do it that way.

My works printer is networked (i don't know why TBH as I'm the only user) and has a static IP.
The theory always goes that you could send something to home/ work to print off

Sadly not, the router is in the living room (which is an ironic term of reference as no-one is allowed in there as it's her 'good' room).

Ooh...looks good, replacement ink £20 for both colour and black together and appears to be Win7 compatible...is this the case do you know?

Thanks for the input guys.

Yep, we run win7 on our pc and 2 laptops, prints wirelessly from each. Ink is cheap, does decent photos.

I bought a Canon printer recently, wifi and inkjet with reasonable prices for carts. The quality is superb.

I'll get the model number when I get home.

Xerox Phaser 6280 (which sounds more like a StarTrek accessory I know) is what I bought for our office. Pretty good all in, cartridges aren't the cheapest but it does a lot of sheets on them so not too bad. Quality is pretty good on standard paper, doesn't improve a lot on photo paper though - for really crispy photo printing you still need a decent inkjet. Canon Pixma iP2702 isn't bad for under £50 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-4800x1...1003214&sr=8-1). Then pick up a wireless print server for less than £50 and off you go. Simples.

Cheers Mike - I ordered the Kodak one above, however can still cancel if required. If you pass me the model number I'll gen up on them both.

P.S. How are you fixed to help me change my fork oil and change brake fluid this weekend

Which bit of 'cheap as chips' did you not understand!?!?!?!

Oops, sorry, the "cheap as chips" bit, obviously!! There's a Kodak that looks like the sort of thing you're after, I'm surprised nobody's..oh..hang on...good call BBD

(mutters to self, must read posts more carefully, look like **** otherwise, mutter, mutter......)

I dont have these problems. I have a Xerox DC252 sitting a few feet form where i sit at work. I have a cheap HP at home that i use with a mono cartridge only installed for the odd letter.

Home printing is the most expensive form of printing that you can do bar none cost per copy wise.
