  1. I connect to the internet at home using an aircard. Just bought a new Brother printer and want to print wirelessly to it. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks very much!

    What does the Brother manual tell you? That is the first step. Brother has not been the best at linking to other tecnologies.

    Aircard is a point-to-point Internet connection
    PC-->Aircard Internet connection​
    there is no router in common for the PC & Printer to allow wifi printing, eg
    Code:
    router <- PC
   |
 WiFi connection to
   |
   +--- network printer
    so the best you can do is
    PC--Usb print connection​
