Product: HP DeskJet 3755 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi Everyone,

i am trying to help my Dad connect his new wireless 3755 printer.  His computer is wired to the router, so the printer is seeking a wireless connection through his computer,   There is no wifi on his computer, so how can I get the printer to wifi directly to the router and not go through the computer?  Is this possible.  He purchased a refurbished HP but my brother has him hardwiring to the route from the box.  He does have the capability of connecting with Wifi, but my brother has convinced him that using wifi for the computer is bad.  Can this printer work? 

Dad also has a chromebook and i thought, worse case scenario, I could hook the printer through the chromebook.  

With all that said, he's 90, and the chromebook print is becoming difficult and I thinkthat is why he replaced his 10 year old computer with the new one.

Thanks so much!!
