Hp Dv6244us

I have 2 questions for you computer tech savvy ppl.
1. I have a Hp Dv6244us and I have a Cannon PIXIUM mp160 Printer and I was just wondering if it is possible to make the printer wireless to the laptop because I don't want to buy a USB 2.0 cable for one printer. The printer needs to have this in order for me to print from my laptop. If there's a way to make it wireless please tell me i'll be very happy!!
2. I want to get a Lock for my computer but I looked at this one: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Digi...44059/catOid/-13027/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
but i'm not sure if it's good I need more reviews for me to get this one or if you have better locks then please tell me!!

thanx a bunch,
Ering

 

Take a look at this article from the HP site

http://www.hp.com/sbso/productivity/howto/it_wirelessprinting/tech.html
and with the "lock" the only problem i can see is that since its usb someone could just steal that thinks its a thumb drive with personal data on it or it might be knock out of the usb port and the software might have compatibility issues which could cause problems.

 

HP sells this upgrade kit which converts a normal cable printer to a wireless one...

Although they only list HP printers as being compatible, but according to one of the reviews it seems it *might* also be compatible with other printers. Also it still might require a USB cable to connect to the wireless dock.

Check to see if Canon has something similar.
