    No. None of the Dell printers have wireless USB.

    If you are talking about wireless adapters that turn the printer into network printer then yes this feature is available.

    yeah, that's what I am saying. I have a wireless adapter that I want to stick on the printer to make it a network wireless printer

    It comes with one of those cheap add-on bluetooth adapters to make it wireless on a network, but i don't have bluetooth built in my other laptop so I wanted to know if it will work with wireless adapter too?

    You can opt for the Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 Product instead of the D-Link Bluetooth USB 2.0 Adapter while configuring your Dell 926 All-In-One Printer. This wireless adapter will turn your printer into a wireless network printer and will be available to any computer that can access 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network.

    The Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 is a true wireless device and works on either 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. Complete information at: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=310-6263&price=99

    You can also use any wireless adapter, range extender or router (you are not restricted to Dell) with a USB 2.0 port and turn this printer into a wireless network printer. (e.g., you can use AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet. Ofcourse you also have other inexpensive alternatives :))

    You need a USB wireless print server (any one should do, it doesn't have to be from Dell). An ordinary USB wireless adapter won't work.
