MacBook and HP 4315

Are these compatible?  Do they play well together? 
 I was given the HP 4315 & would like to print wirelessly from my MacBook OSX Leopard.  My wireless router is a Netgear N, and has only ethernet ports.  The HP has one USB port, no ethernet.  
Do I just need a wireless adapter for the printer?  I do pretty well for my age, 66, but I'm stumped.  Any suggestions? Thanks, Liz Atlanta

Hello Liz,

You can accomplish your request two different ways. (Both ways are a little technical and you might need assistance)

1) You can get a wireless adapter for your printer and then configure it as a node. Then print to it as a printer device. (node)

2) (cheaper way) You could connect the printer to a spare pc that is wirelesss. Then share out the printer.

Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

Setting HP OfficeJet 4315 print preferences on a MAC OS X

Whenever you send a file to print from a program a small window shows up. If it shows only
Printer: Drop down menu ARROW Presets: Drop down menu Some buttons at the bottom
then click on the ARROW pointing down for more options. That will show more info, including a drop down menu that will allow you to change page settings, printing settings, etc. For example, if you want to change the printing quality, select "Paper Type/Quality" from that drop down menu and new options will show up allowing you to change the settings of the printer.
