The best option for this is to attach the printer via USB to a Network Printer Hub.
Printer Hubs attach to the network through wireless and convert the printer to be available through that network to any PC.
Some routers also act as a Printer Hub, if you are happy to have your printer located beside the router.
Look in Google for Printer Hubs for more details and local availability.

Testimonial: "Very helpful. I had no idea where to start on this, or even if it was possible, but I might yet be able to print direct from an iPad on sn ancient thoroughbred printer ! Thanks."

    Printing from an Ipad is a different kettle of fish. This requires one of 2 things as it requires 'Airprint' either on the printer itself (only relatively new models) or an 'Airprint' application on a PC or Mac.

    There are other options using some printer manufacturer's apps, eg HPePrint, you can print to a printer through their app.

    Add a CommentI also discovered an alternative PC program, called Netgear Genie, which can also act as an Airprint alternative and is easily set up. I hope all of this helps.

How to hook up wifi connection to hp color laserjet 2600n printer

Most WIFI adapters operate much like the old Jet Direct cards. They attach either through the Parallel Port or the USB Port on the printer.
Once it is plugged in and attached to the printer you will need to search for teh WIFI device on the WIFI network where you can configure it. Then it is just a matter of setting up the printer on your laptop/tablet like any other printer using the WIFI port defined on the WIFI network using the HP2600 drivers.

Windows 8 operating system

Not an answer for you exactly but why continue to use Lotus Notes? Is there something it can do that no other current and supported software is capable of?

Try Open Office or Libre Office. You may need to convert or redo some old documents. Convert now before you get even further behind and possible lose the ability to convert them at all.

HI my name is DAVID and I bought a 7'' netsurfer Wi-Fi & 3G internet thinking of trying new product, i'm so much dissapointed to find that it cant even connect with any printer, Even CD/DVD RAM please...

Hey, you can't just go connecting your phone to any printer or cd/dvd ram. Your printer needs to be wifi compatible and on top of that you need compatibility with your LG RUMOR. You can't connect CD/DVD RAM to it :/. What you can do however is convert your dvd to a format which will work on your phone. You can use http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/ to decrypt the dvd into a file on your computer, and a program like Daniusoft Media Converter Pro to convert it, there is some freeware programs out there that will convert it, google is the best place to find one :).

I have a psp with a pokemon emulator on it is it possible to trade with my ds?

No, it's not. This is because a DS and a PSP run on differently tuned wifi channels, like radio stations. It is only possible if you get a emulator for PSP to DS, and a way to sync your DS and PSP to a computer, the going into the internal files( which are invisible and encrypted) and the singling out a single file for pokemon and your party, and running the pokemon through a converter for PSP emulator version to DS version, then moving the file. All of this is very hard to do, and nearly impossible, as you would have to write you own converter file based on the language of a PSP pokemon and a DS pokemon, and I don't even think you can get a program that will reveal the hidden folders, and then you would have to write yet another program that decrypts the files. All in all, not worth the time and effort.

Is it possible to convert this printer so it only uses black ink and it operates without the color cartridges?

Hi,

The Photosmart printers work in Thermal Inkjet printing technology. This require all cartridges to be present with ink for printer to work.

You may disable the color printing feature using the printer properties, even though the color cartridge will still be in use.

Only Laser jet printers can work with Black cartridge alone.

How to make my own wifi antenna splitter?

Philip,

If you are planning to use a single antenna and then use a "splitter" to connect two (2) WiFi units, I'm afraid that it will not work.

Antenna splitters are meant for receive only mode but since WiFi operates both on receive and transmit, then perhaps what you would need is a "duplexer".

Both of your WiFis would be operating on 2.4GHz band.  Theoretically, you would have to fix set your first WiFi device to operate on the lowest channel possible and the other on the highest channel possible. The channel separation translates to frequency difference; lowest for Channel 1 is 2.401GHz while the highest for Channel 11 is 2.473GHz.

Constructing your own would be at best a daunting task since you would need to be very familiar with electronic components and circuitry in the microwave region. Further, you have to have access to specialized equipment (microwave capable) such as a spectrum analyzer, swr meter, dummy loaded wattmeter and a frequency counter to say the least.  In most countries, you would also need certain licenses to do this.

With all of these in mind, your best bet might be to use individual external antennas for each WiFi device and positioned them as far away as possible from each other.  Moreover, pls bear in mind that anything between the transmitter and the antenna would introduce attenuation, insertion and return loss and this include even just the cable.

 

If you would still want to give it a try:

  1. Here is a   link  to  commercial duplexer for  amateur radio;
  2. Here’s a   link  to  a do-it-yourself page for lower amateur frequencies;
  3. This is a   link   to a component supplier page.

 
Good luck and kind regards.
