    Hi,



    My friend just started his business. There are 5 people working here including both of us. He bought a Samsung 2165W. He wants all of us to use this printer. What do we have to do? None of the PC's are on a domain. The printer has no ethernet jack. Do we just have to buy a router? Can we print via the ip address of the printer. We are using Vista. We installed the CD. We tried to install via USB. They wanted some numbers. We tried via WPS but we couldnt since there is no router.

    If you wish to print wirelessly, then yes you need a wireless router. Else a USB connection after installing the software should work fine.

    You surely don't have your office computers communicating wirelessly in an "ad hoc" (no security) network. That's not a good idea, either at home or in an office. Adding a wireless router is a necessity for your office to establish a quality, secured network. It will also make it easy to print to a wireless printer. Invest $40 - $90 in a good wireless router and secure your wireless network traffic.
