connecting a wireless laptop to a multifunction (non wireless) printer
I have my desktop comp. hooked up directly to my HP 6110 multi function printer. I have a router installed so I can use my wireless laptop in another room. Is there anything available to print from my laptop? My printer does not have a usb port.
thank you..

I supposed your router give the same subnet for the desktop and your laptop. If not set it up.
And then, you must set your laptop to join your desktop workgroup (or domain).
The last, you can share your printer (HP 6110) so your laptop can use it too. Install the printer driver to your laptop, if needed.
With this schemes, you can print (from the laptop) to the printer only if the router and desktop computer are (both) on.

The printer indeed has an USB port, that is the only connectivity the printer has.
You need to have a Wireless USB device that will allow you to add wireless capability to the printer, and network your other USB dependent peripherals wirelessly, they can then be reached via any computer on your WLAN.
These kind of device is available on the market.
