I just went to print something today for the first time since I came home from college. Under the list of printer choices was a new printer choice that I have never had before or used and it's called Angela's Printer. I don't know if I have a neighbor named Angela... If someone is hacking into my wireless would their printer show up? If not, why is someone's printer showing up on my comp?

either you are connecting to her router/wireless signal or she is connecting to yours... if it is a problem...you might want to set up some security on that router. then she can not connect to you.
If it really bothers you ...she would have to be within around 250-300 feet of your router...so narrow it down and ask her.
maybe you two could split the bill and go with one internet service and pay less...lol

It's likely your computer is finding their wireless. I'm don't know a whole lot about networking, but I do know that nothing you mentioned shows at all that anyone is using your wireless.
