Adding a printer to an existing ad hoc wireless network

Before you begin, make sure:

Your wireless network adapter is properly attached to your computer and is working.

The ad hoc wireless network that the printer will connect to is available. For more information on creating an ad hoc wireless network, see the documentation that came with your operating system.
