Just got a color laserjet CP5225 (I need to print tabloid and it was the least expensive option).  I didn't think it was possible in 2025, but it has no wireless network connectivity just 10/100 and USB.

 

Been on the phone w/sales and also support but they're unhelpful and I am going to be skeptical of whatever they tell me.

 

What do I need in order to set this printer up wirelessly? At the extreme end I can put a PC near it and hardwire to the printer and then share it but that seems a bit much. I see the 2700W print server but am unsure if it's going to work.

 

TIA

The CP5225 is a printer from 2009, and in those days, wi-fi was not so common in printers as it is today.

 

You can go with EW2500 JetDirect from HP https://support.hp.com/ca-en/product/details/hp-jetdirect-ew2500-802.11b-g-wireless-print-server/398...

Tech support seemed doubtful that any of their print servers would work due to the OS that the printer uses. I relocated the printer to within reach of a 10/100 connection ; not ideal but it works for now.  

Thank you for your help -
