Definition of wireless printers?

No cables for a start! The wireless revolution has been about making life easier by not trailing cables around offices or rooms. Easy setup and installation means time saving and in this day and age it’s very welcome. Wireless means it should be able to work across your wireless network, so you don’t need to have it attached via a cable, so it could sit at the other end of your office.

Many of the top brands in the printing business have jumped into this market. It is surprising to note that the market is still in its infancy and the range of printers is small. The Canon wireless printer range is by far the best selling wireless printer on the market at the moment, with the HPC4580 is not far behind. Other companies in the marketplace include Epson, Dell and Lexmark.

Some points to note:

Wireless printers are only as good as your wireless connection and distance from the router. Sometimes you may lose the print job if the wireless connection drops.

Look out for extra features like Bluetooth and compatibility with PC and Mac.

You can of course try and turn your existing printer into a wireless printer by use of a wireless printer adaptor. This is a dongle device that plugs into your printer via a usb port and once the drivers are loaded it converts it into a wireless printer.
