Wireless HP Printer

Colonel Kurtz

Hi,

I recently bought a wireless HP Printer; DESKJET 3070 B611.
I'm wondering if I can set this up as wireless.
My internet connection is just O2 mobile broadband (USB stick). Can I set up wireless printing with this?
During printer setup, it asks me for my network password, but I don't have one.
Thanks.

To use its wireless capabilities it needs to be connected to a wireless router.

Alternatively it can be connected to a desktop or a laptop by wireless by setting up an ad hoc wireless network on the desktop/laptop and connecting it to that. That way you could have the printer in a fixed location and move around with a laptop.

Ok. So any advice on how I can do that? Thanks.

I think with those mobile bb sticks you cannot use wifi and the stick similtaniously (i stand to be corrected), o2 have a hotspot wifi thing, which may help (not sure if it has routing capabilities beyond data network though so check this out) . If you can use wifi and the stick just pick up a cheap wifi router, needn't connect it to the internet and it should work fine.
