Apr 28, 2014 4:10 PM in response to brightsoulby John Galt,Wireless printers require a wireless network, or an ad-hoc network between your Mac and the printer. Research that as an option.
A wireless network requires a router and a wireless access point (two separate devices), or a wireless router (a single device) such as an Apple AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule.
Another option may be to connect your printer to the Mac with a USB cable. Most wireless printers also have that ability.
Broadband Internet is optional, and unrelated to one's network.
