I have a belking wireless router and a printer that has an ethernet port. Is it possible to connect to the printer via the router?
Thanks!

Here's the situation-
If I connect my HP psc 2410xi printer via a ethernet cable to a wireless router (Belkin, g router), what would I need to do next in order to access the printer wirelessly through my laptop(i have a wireless card)?
Thanks!!

Yes, but not wirelessly. You would need to have an ethernet cable run from the router to the printer.
For a wireless solution, then you would need to buy a special adapter to plug through the USB on your printer.

Yes, wired directly to the router via ethernet cable or via the wireless connection. Depending on the printer type.

Yes. That ethernet port is a built in Print Server. Go to the Printer's website and download the software if you do not have the disks that came with the printer.
It is a great way to configure a printer.
