I am fairly computer knowledgeable but I am totally confused about what I need to wirelessly print from my laptop to a printer. I tried researching this on the web but the subject did not seem to be addressed at all in regards to my particular situation which is as follows: My desktop PC is in my study & connected to the Roadrunner Cable Network by using a Router Modem of which it is hardwired too. My printer in this room is connected by USB cable to my desktop. No problem there, that is just background info.
Anyway, in my bedroom, I use my laptop which is connected to the Web by my wifi card. I want to add a printer for this room solely to print directly to the laptop. I do not want to use the printer in my study for this laptop. So the bottom line is I want to wireless print direct from my laptop to a printer I'd be adding in my bedroom. I can do so apparently by using a bluetooth printing adapter which gets attached to the USB port of the printer. What I don't understand though to make a long story short, Do I also need a Second Blue Tooth device on my laptop- this isn't explained at all, anywhere, to transmit my printing request wirelessly to this printer? Any help appreciated on this. If I do need a bluetooth device on my laptop as well, will any standard bluetooth device work? Thanks for your answers.
