A printer adapter connects a printer to a computer or other device with an incompatible interface. One end usually has a USB plug while the other has a different interface. It is available in wired and wireless types.
A Wired printer adapter is a cable with a USB plug on one end and a serial, parallel, or PS/2 plug on the other. It can connect directly to the computer or to a computer network through an Ethernet hub. The latter usually requires an Ethernet or RJ-45 connector. It can also connect to digital media devices such as digital cameras and scanners.
A Wireless printer adapter uses Bluetooth or WiFi technology that allows mobile and Wireless printing. It connects the computer to a Wireless network, allowing it to serve several computers. It can also be used to print from mobile phones, cameras, and other wireless-enabled media devices.
Compatibility: Make sure your printer is Bluetooth-enabled when choosing a Wireless printer adapter. For best results, choose a Wireless printer adapter made by the same manufacturer as your printer.
