Is it possible to print from my G72 laptop to my F380 AIO printer without using a cable. I understand a wireless mouse and laptop operate by plugging a device into a desktop's USB port. Is something similar possible by plugging a device into teh printer?

Thanks for your replies.

The F380 has no wireless capabilities - so using the usb cable is mandatory if you want to print from your G72.

 

If you still want to print wireless

.

what you could do is to buy a printserver - so you connect your printer to the printserver and this can work wireless towards your G72.

Another option

If you want to  get wireless is to get a Wireless printer , were this funcionality is build in.

an HP wireless printer would be the F4580.

 

I work for HP but posts and replies are my own.
