I have an epson c62 printer.  It is usb compatible, only a few months old.  Is there a way to make this wireless?  I have seen people talking about wireless printers through bluetooth.  Is that something that the printer has to already have or can you make it wireless.  If you can make it wireless what do i need to do this.  Thanks

You can, but it's likely going to cost more to do that than the entire printer did initially.

There are wireless printer adapters - you'll need one, plus a wireless adapter for the host PC (unless it's a notebook with wireless built in).

Extended Systems (www.extendedsystems.com) is one vendor of wireless hardware - mostly IR.  Bluetooth is an option, but make sure its range is acceptable (it's very short range - not much more than a cable would give you under many circumstances).
