Is your router wired and wireless?

If so, you would simple use a wired connection [LAN port] for the printer and set the printer up with a static IP on your network

Then all other authorize network devices (wired and wireless) should be able to connect with and use the printer. Trusting that each device has the necessary printer drivers.

Or you could connect the printer directly to a Windows computer and share the printer accordingly. Disadvantage being that that computer would always have to remain on.

Does the printer support "AirPrint"?
