Wireless printing

A very good evening all.

I'm faced with dilemma here. I've *never* installed a wireless print job
before.

I have a client with a Compaq notebook, that he totes all over the
house--works great with the Lynksis router.

Now he wants to know if he can print wirelessly from anywhere he has
coverage, to his fancy HP printer sitting right next to the Linksys router.
Is this possible, or are we talking some serious dollar outlay here?

As always, any help is gratefully accepted.

I hope this is not an imbecilic question.

you need to supply some details. does the printer have wireless on
board? is it connected to a wireless print server? is it connected
via ethernet to the router as an ethernet printer? is it connected
to a desktop pc?

there are lots of configurations, and yes, there is a good chance
that printing can be done wirelessly.

what operating system is on the laptop (and on the desktop if the
printer is attached to a desktop)? what printer model?

Thank you Barb,

I'm so green at this I didn't even know what info. was needed. I'll do some
checking with the customer, and get back to this thread.

Thanks so much for responding.
