I wanted to print from my laptop without booting the PC. All (printer - PC - Laptop) are connected to a network. Unfortunately, the printer from your laptop via network does not work as fast as I wish it. A little sensitive soul. It was me tired. So I was thinking to buy another printer that is wireless capability. Then I had another Stehrumchen, and somewhere would always cartridges dried up. Then I had the idea gloreiche, a long printer cable was needed. So I from the living room can address the printer in the office. After a long download and install (Vista is there a little picky) Hatt's worked. I'm very satisfied. If I do not want to print, the cable disappears rolled up on the shelf. For me an ideal solution. And so cheap.
