printing wirelessly to HP photosmart 2575

Any idea how I can print wirelessly to my HP photosmart 2575? I know it can use a bluetooth adaptor, but can I just buy any kind? Is there another way to do it, like hook it up to the wireless router? I would love to be able to do this!

If it has an ethernet port, you should just be able to hook it up to your router and set it up using IP Printing. If it doesn't have one, you could buy the appropriate Print Server (for your printer's connection type) and hook the printer up to that and then that to the router and do the same thing: IP Printing.

This way you aren't confined to whatever distance that the bluetooth reaches. You can print from anywhere you can pick up your router's signal. Or if you're really savvy, you can print from anywhere in the world to your printer at home.

I just bought the Apple Airport Express for $129 for this reason.

All you do is plug your printer into the bottom of it and your internet connection and you are good to go.

It's really that easy, I didn't think it would be but it really was.

Oh...

You can also hook your stereo up to the Airport Express and have your iTunes play from your computer to the stereo wirelessly which is a nice feature when you are in your house or apartment and also great for parties!

You should consider the Airport Express.
