howz it goin people

i have a question - can anybody tell me how to wirelessly set up my printer for my laptop to print off it

We are going to need a little more information than that.

Do you have a desktop you can hook the printer to and access it over the network?

Do you need a stand alone solution?

Please tell us your printer model, and the wireless setup you now have. It is usually easier to initially setup the printer on a usb cable until it is working properly, then add the wireless component to the operation.

i am in a dorm room setup. i have a laptop and a desktop, and I want to set up my printer so I can wirelessly print from my laptop. Yes, my laptop is wireless, but my printer is not. I have a U.S. Robotics maxG router...it has a USB port as well. Do I need a wireless modem? Or can I just hook the printer and the router with a USB cord, and then have my laptop connect with the router? my printer is a Lexmark Z32

It would be less expensive to buy a wireless printer.
What you are attempting to do will likely not be reliable, if it works at all, with a Z32... not to mention the lost time.

Your router seems to have the print server capability, so yes, you connect the printer to your router via USB and Read The Friendly Manual.
