WIFI Printers

  1. We just bought a Wifi Printer because our last HP died after 10 years. It didn't really  die as such, it just couldn't receive the print cartridges on one side. So, we figured after 10 years of a really good all-in-one printer it was time to get a Wifi printer which allows you to print from any device in your house that you set up to do this. However, I needed my 20 year old daughter's help because I was trying to match this printer and get drivers for my wife 27 inch IMac and this was not easy. So I needed her help. So, if you have a 12 to 25 year old in high school or college who has been taught all this in school already it is helpful.

    Windows computers are easier to get drivers for over the internet.

     Since Wifi is relatively new in computer printers. You can also print through email or smartphones or tablets. However, I didn't see the need of this for me. I might want to print while I'm in the Hot Tub outside, for example, or from the bedroom or outside somewhere which is what I saw as useful from my laptop. However, if you are at a distance and not looking at your printer, you cannot solve a paper jam or if there isn't enough ink in your cartridges or other problems. However, it is a nice feature on some newer computer printers. We got one of the HP Envy series of wifi printers.
