Unleash your printer: set up a Wi-Fi laser | ||||
![]() Elsa Wenzel, associate editor | Don't let cords trip you up when you're making laser prints; check out these printers with internal Wi-Fi. Can't stand trudging from the upstairs den to your downstairs office just to plug into the printer and dash off a business letter? Would your office rather relocate the workgroup than run cables through the walls to share one laser workhorse? These laser printers can help. All offer versions with internal 802.11 wireless networking. If you're already connected to a Wi-Fi network, these can free you from bumbling with wires or bothering with yet another external component for printing; just connect them to a wireless router. You'll have to bust out a screwdriver and pop in the Wi-Fi card yourself on the Brother 6050DW, but the HP LaserJet 1320nw and the Samsung ML-2152W are wireless ready once you unpack them. | |||
