Mike, sorry about that I should have known. No he is not stealing and he does have permission from Sam the neighbor. The printer is in the house without the router only WiFi. I assume I have to take the printer to Sam's house and plug an ethernet cable in to program it. How would I accomplish this? Thanks Larry

Which does not impact on your question. But, what you don't make clear is where the printer is. His house or the neighbor's? If the neighbor's place, then all he has to do is install the printer on his computer, probably with the CD, but sometimes some printer drivers can be "extended" from computer to computer. If at home, how is he connecting? Is the printer hooked up to a wireless router? If so, then the CD installation is the ticket. Mike > I have a friend that has purchased an HP laptop with WiFi.
