I am running my Toshiba laptop on a wireless hook-up using a linksys router
but have been printing to my HP C4180 printer using a hard cable. I'm sure
there is a way to print wirelessly, but can't seem to find the instructions
for setting it up.


That printer has no wireless connection, and does not have ethernet
connection either. It just has a normal USB connection. How were you
expecting to print wirelessly to it?

Has your router got a built-in print server? Has it got any flat-type USB
sockets on it?

If not, the only thing you can do is connect the printer to another
computer, and print to it from the laptop through LAN network (which would
be wireless from the laptop).
