    What is the model name and number of the printer you intend to buy?

    Maybe you know someone who has a spare eircom/vodafone/sky router, or check on adverts/donedeal/charity shop/recycling centre. You wouldn't need a landlilne internet connection, but you would need to switch connections to print. Check the printer model for compatible wifi.

    It's quite common for wifi printers to have their own wifi/hotspot. That's why I asked the OP for the model number before I suggested they go buy a wireless router which they may not need.
