Answer 2

Your laptop needs to have WiFi capability. Or you can buy a USB WiFi devicefor it.
You need to have the Lexmark printer driver loaded in to Windows on the laptop.
Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.2.1 into the "Address" line above the screen. This may get you to the router (modem) setup menu.
Go to Printers and Faxes and "Add" your printer, selecting the one seen though the router.

You need a device called a "wireless print server" to receive the wireless signal from your laptop to the printer.
