How can I connect my printer up to my wireless network without having some type of wireless printer interface for the printer? Or Can I hook my printer up some how to my router/AP with some type of adapter?

Background
Desktop OS Win XP (hard wired to the router/AP)
Laptop OS Win 98se (wireless)
Printer (hard wired to the desktop using USB 1.1)
Router Linksys Router/AP

Please help!!!


 
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question, but if you have the printer already connected to your desktop then it should be all set. All you should have to do is share the printer on the desktop and then connect to it with your laptop through the wireless network. That is assuming you have already setup the network so that your laptop and desktop can connect to each other.
