Are all wireless printers able to creat their own mini-network with a computer, or do they need an existing wireless network? I recall using a Brother that was able to make it's own network.
Yes it's called an ad-hoc network
I'm now considering buying the
Samsung SL-M2020W/XAA and am trying to figure out if it can connect via a ad-hoc network?
The
manual reads "
Wireless networking may not be available depending on the model (see Features by model).
-Using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) button
You can easily connect to a wireless network using the WPS button on the machine and the access point (a wireless router).
-Using the USB cable
You can connect and set various wireless network settings using a USB cable.
-Using the Wi-Fi Direct
You can conveniently print from your mobile device using the Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct feature."
It doesn't mention an ad-hoc option.
