How to connect HP 1200n laserjet printer with my WiFi router

[thebling]

Hi...I have an HP 1200n printer that I want to connect with my D-link 2730u wireless router. I googled and found out it is possible. But I'm not sure what kind of cable is needed to connect the two. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If the printer does not have built in wifi and does not have an rj45 Ethernet port (the kind on your router), then you will need to connect the printer to a computer, and then set to share the printer.

Then other computers on the network can use the printer.

The printer has a parallel port only.

Then you have 2 options

1) us a parallel port (db25) to usb adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-USB-DB25-Paralle-Adapter-Prolific/dp/B000JPCAKY
connect to a computer and then share the printer over network.
2) get a new printer that is not 12-15 years old

I can't get rid of it for at least a year. It's government issued. :-/ Thanks for the info though!

Awww government issued, enough said on using 12 year old technology then.

Hopefully then you are allowed access to add drivers to the computer you are hooking the printer to then.
