Hi there,

 

How do I make my HP P2055d printer into a wireless network printer for 2 computers?

 

Both computer are connected to a WIFI network, Is there a way to connect the printer so I will not need a cable

?

 

Thank you

Your printer is a USB cable connected printer only.

 

You could try a USB Print Server.  Search the web.

Hi,

 

Can you tell me how to do so?

will any USB Print Server work with this printer?

Here is the Amazon report...

Hi, another thing I thought of: is it possible to connect the printer directly to the router?

Or does it have to go trhow the USB Wireless Print Server?

HP Recommended
As long as your router has a Printer USB supported port in back, it may work. Repeat, may work. You have to verify your router has a USB port that supports printers.

No.  That is a LAN print server.  Your printer is a USB only, no Ethernet port according to the manual.  That's why I said USB print server.
