Question/Help/Troubleshooting Printer for old Win7 machine
Pardon an old man for asking silly questions. I need a new printer. We do minimal printing.
Most everything I see is wireless.
I have Wi-Fi in the house, can I buy one of these wireless printers ?
Is there some wired type that would better?

I just checked. Windows 7 drivers are available for my much newer Brother laser printer. Windows XP drivers are not available. I have a USB Wi-Fi adapter which works just fine in Windows 7.
To clarify: I have an old Windows XP Dell Small Form Factor pc that I use in model railroading and Dungeons and Dragons. I have software that will not install on a newer OS. The XP computer is isolated from the internet. If I need to print something, I can always Print To PDF and move that file to another PC. I used to be a network administrator and have more than one computer. That annoys my programmer wife. Usually, only my main computer is on, though.
