Karl -

Funny I was just looking at the printer in Staples, great minds and all of
that. How exactly do
you get the printer to use a wireless network ? do you replace the existing
nic in the printer ?
or use an usb to wireless ethernet adapter ? (if so how do you set it up ?)

thanks for any info. With it I may be able to spend xmas with the family and
not my printer ! :-))
