I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 5440 and am trying to find a way to access it wirelessly from my laptop (running Win XP Pro). FYI.....this laptop connects wirelessly through a Linksys router flawlessly. The attempts I have made to print from my laptop to the afroementioned printer include: (1) trying to find a print server that supports the HP Deskjet 5440.....I have had zero luck....HP tech support states that no print server will work with it...but I have learned that tech support can often be wrong.....Netgear, D-Link and Linksys all say that they have not tested this printer.....they suggest that I should purchase one of their print servers and "try it out". I had no luck trying this approach with a Hawking print server I already had. I do not know how to intelligently identify a print server to "try out" that has the "best chance" of working (2) I have attempted to use the Win XP Network Setup Wizard and try to access the printer through my desktop (running Win XP Home) by setting up a home network...but my laptop is from my employer and when I try to set it up on a home network, it states that I cannot do this since the laptop is part of a domain. Any thoughts or suggestions.....if this is a lost cause, please let me know this as well. Thanks.
