    so i bought my fist laptop ever, my first router ever, and its all working amazingly,

    but i realize with my papers being written on my laptop i need to somehow print them, i noticed more ports on the back of the router, can those be plugged into my printer to enable wireless printing? i'm not sure at all on the wireless printing thing

    any help would be great thanks

    In a short yes, but it depends upon the printer port needed and printer. A true network printer will use a cat5 cable to tie it to the network. Some printers require a print server to connect them, while other can be equipped with a network port (wired or wireless). Most aio printers only have limited support.
