If not, what about interfacing through a computer?
Yeah but my computer is in a separate room where there isn't enough room to put the printer in the same place as PC. So I left it there in the other room. When I went to best buy the guy suggested I buy the airport express which I got for 100 bucks... later I come to find out that I needed a base station to work with the airport.. it was ridiculous for all the trouble I went through trying to figure out how to set it up... I returned the product outright because I decided that I wasn't going to spend another dime... plus the guy at best buy that told me to get the airport probably did not know what he was talking about..
