The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Can't figure out how to connect to printer wirelessly

Asked by bray64 in Wireless Print Servers, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters, Network Routers

Tags: HP, Officeject All-in-One, J6450, Wireless ability

I have an HP Officejet J6450 All-in-one and it has built-in wireless support. My business partner and I would both like to use wireless printing -- at least one of us anyway, since the other one could use the USB connection. We have laptops and may or may not be in the office at the same time. Our computers are not networked.

The documentation for the printer makes it sound like we can create an ad hoc network to connect wirelessly to the printer, however when I try to do this Windows cannot find the printer. When I try to set up set up wireless access through the HP installation program, it's assuming that I have a network already set up and asking for the SSID.

Hardware isn't my thing, but I can usually succeed with good documentation. There just seems to be a mismatch here, or else I'm just missing the mark. So, my questions are:

- Can I set this up without having to have another computer as a print server?
- Do I need to set up a router for this? (I do have one, but it was my understanding that the built-in wireless support negates the need for a router...)
- Do our computers need to be networked? if so, what happens when only one of us is in the office?
- Will this affect our wireless internet connection? We are in an area that does not have high-speed cable or phone access (frightening, I know), so we are each using Verizon aircards for internet access. I think it is possible to share one connection by setting up a network, but I've never tried it and I think it could degrade our access speed. So, I don't really want to do this.

Hopefully this is a fairly easy question for somebody out there. I'm stumped.

Thank you!
