I have a Netgear N300 wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router and a HP Photosmart C5280 printer. The printer is a USB printer and the router has a USB port in the back. My computers are both laptops running Windows Vista. Is there a way to connect my printer to the router to print wirelessly? If so, how?

Well, first, just because it has a USB port does not mean it will work.  Many of the router USB ports just support USB hard drives, so check that out.

 

Also, it will support printing only, not scanning.  Wireless printing is not available on this printer.
