Wireless printing has many advantages over wired printing. Wireless printing reduces wire clutter because it does not use any wires, as the name implies. Wireless printing allows you to connect an unlimited number of computers to the printer. And you can connect computers that you would not be able to connect otherwise, because they are in locations such as other floors, rooms or buildings, to the printer.

Test the connection by printing a page.
