I don't have a laptop yet, but how would i wirelessly hook up the hp psc 1210xi printer to my laptop to print and scan and copy?

You need to get a USB Wireless print server that hooks up to your wireless router via CAT5 connection.
Alternatively, you can get the new Linksys standalone wireless print server (but it is far more expensive than the hp 1210 series) -

Ok, basically this is simplistic as it gets ----> (lines represent connections)
Desktop PC---Modem for DSL, Broadband and such----to router(allowing wifi)
The printer is connected already with the Desktop, so its capable of being put on to the network. So by allowing the printer with full sharing rights through the network settings, there is technically no need for a printer server. -
oh WOW ty so much.. that helps alot..So there is also no point in getting a printer with "built-in wifi"?

Unless you have a whole bunch of printers, the router setup should suffice.

thanks sooo much!
