    i noticed that our new toshiba laptop seems to connect to the epson printer even tho the laptop wireless switch is off.
    when we go RVing we connect to the internet from their wifi.
    will i be able to connect to the internet (with the laptop switch on of course) and use the printer at the same time?
    thanks all

    if the wireless switch is off, it should not connect to anything wireless.
    what do you mean "their wifi"? is that another network?
    If it is on a different IP class range, you should not be able to print to it.

    thanks
    "their wifi" means the RV park owners have contracted with someone to provide wifi internet.
    IP class range?
