   Wireless printer make and model number ?   
      
   Is the PC home-made (built from parts) or is it an   
   OEM computer like an HP or Acer or Dell ? What   
   parts does it use ? Or, what is the make and model   
   number of the PC.   
      
   There are a couple ways to connect:   
      
   The first is Wifi Direct (Wifi p2p), where an Access-point communicates with   
   the printer.   
      
   data-network-side ---- PC --- wifi-access-point  <==>  Wifi-printer   
      
      or this method requires no additional adjustment with a Network Manager   
      
                                              wifi-router   
                                             //          \\   
   data-network-side ---- PC --- wifi-client               Wifi-printer   
      
   If you don't have a router, it is unlikely the   
   connection would make without some effort.

   But first, we need to know more about your printer, to see   
   what options it really has. The make and model number of the printer   
   would be useful information.
