Connecting a HP printer wirelessly?

Hi all, I have a HP printer which has a USB port, which I think is to connect to a computer's USB port. However, can I connect that USB port on the printer to a wireless adapter & use the printer with my wireless enabled laptop ?this may sound wierd & I think the answer may be a NO coz the USB wireless adapter requires driver to work which cannot be installed on a printer. just wanted some expert opinion if thats possible at all.Thanks in advance.

Well you could just start a network between a pc connected to the printer and the laptop not connected to the printer. Then share printers.

Yes you can...with a usb wireless printer server adapter. This has the necessary drivers built in and the printer sees it as a server. Here's an example. You can get them for around $80. http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.asp?pi...32&m_id=13
