A computer that is wireless enabled is needed if you need to install a wireless printer. Without a wireless enabled computer whether it is a desktop or laptop, it is not possible to connect a wireless printer to it. Wireless capability is inbuilt in some of the models of the computer and the printers. You have to make sure that your printer has wireless capability. Otherwise you have to add a wireless print server which can be bought separately.
An IP address will be assigned to your print server. This IP address has to be accessed by your wireless enabled computer. When you purchase a wireless printer you will be given the drivers that are needed for the proper functioning of the device. These driver files have to be installed in your wireless enabled computer so that you can access the wireless printer. You can create an ad-hoc network between your computer and the print server without the need for a router. There are many articles available in the internet from which you can find out how to create an ad-hoc network.
