Answer» I HAVE A VERIZON WIRELESS MODEM & AN OLD HP DESKTOP PC & AN OLD HP PRINTER. I WANT TO UPGRADE TO A NEW DESKTOP PC, GET A NEW 4-in-1 PRINTER, & GET A LAPTOP ALSO. MY QUESTION IS WHEN I GET THE NEW PRINTER DOES IT HAVE TO BE JUST WIRELESS OR DOES IT NEED TO BE EPRIN T ALSO IN ORDER TO WORK WITH A LAPTOP? ALSO WOULD I NEED TO HOOK THE NEW DESKTOP PC INTO THE PRINTER WITH AN ETHERNET OR SHOULD I GET A WIRELESS DESKTOP PC ALSO - IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A WIRELESS DESKTOP PC? HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME FIGURE ALL THIS OUT. THERE ARE SO MANY NEW TERMS OUT THERE NOW THAT IT TENDS TO CONFUSE ME! THX FOR ANY HELP ANYONE CAN GIVE ME IN UNDERSTANDING ALL THE NEW TERMS LIKE WIRELESS, EPRINT, & TOUCH SCREEN, DESKTOP PC's WITHOUT A TOWER, ETC. I'd make sure the capslock button works on the new PC...

So, no need to think about adding a wireless adapter to your desktop. Just connect your printer by using an Ethernet cable. Regarding ePrint, just ignore it, or even remove it. You don't need it if your just using your printer with your desktop computer. For more info on HP ePrint, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_ePrint A first time poster came here for assistance.
