Ubuntu will connect to a wireless printer just fine, what you need to
determine is what make of printer is the most compatible. Many of
these wireless printers will be all-in-one printer/copier/scanner and
not all of them play nicely over wireless when scanning ( again it's
the same old story of driver support from manufacturers ) so that's
something you'd have to take into account.

Anyone here using a wireless AIO and find it works fine with Ubuntu ?

my Epson all-in-one printer by cable is connected to my Win 7 and
Ubuntu 11.04 found it on the Wi Fi connection to my BT hub just fine. I
never bought a wireless printer.

We have an HP J6450 All in One Wireless Printer in our house and it
works great with Ubuntu (tested with 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04). The
printer itself is about 2 or 3 years old, but from what I understand in
Ubuntu just about any HP printer should work without any problem. The
nice thing about wireless printers, you can place them any where in the
house.

Great the the HP J6450 wireless printer works, what about the scanning
function too ?

You know, I have never tried that under Ubuntu as of yet. My home
network has a mix of Ubuntu and Windows 7 boxes on it.

Not sure about either the J6450 or wireless, but scanning on my HP
OJ6310 which is hard wired into my wireless router works just fine -
both the flatbed scanner and the document feeder.

Our HP scanner+Printer works great from wireless. Had to be set-up in
Windoze first. The HP drivers for Ubuntu work very well and simple scan
is great scanning to pdf.

My laser printer is set up to print using a static ip. In Ubuntu I install
the printer using ipp. I just insert the ip address and it then checks for
the printer and you choose the CUPS driver. Works great!

Would this site help explains the set up it has windows and ubuntu there.
