Example of wi-fi product

HP Photosmart C6380

To add that same wireless convenience to your home office, make your next printer a Wi-Fi enabled print server. For example, the HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier ($199) doesn't need to be tethered to any computer in your household. Instead, let everyone with a Wi-Fi enabled desktop or laptop communicate directly with the C6380 to print documents or send faxes. You can even print photos directly from memory cards after previewing them on the attached LCD display.
