Is your router wireless only, or do they at least give you a port or two for non-wireless devices?

I have my mongo HP 4500 Color Laser Jet just plugged directly into my router (non-wireless) and it has an IP address on the "network".

I guess that depends on your printer on whether it has a network connection on it.  Mine only had that and the digital plug.

Not sure how you can do it if it's connected to another PC on a network.

that's exactly how mine is set up...  i have no idea how it works.  i called time warner and they came out and set it up for me.  i work on cars, not computers.

I'm trying to set up a wireless belkin G system and having issues. Going to try the 24/7 tech support tomorrow. I just plan on hardwiring the printer
