    Connecting it to the wireless network will give you access to it through your network.

    Make sure its either setup as a DHCP client or give it a static address (however your network is setup).
    1. Then you will just need to go to devices and printer
    2. add a printer
    3. Choose a network printer.
    4.Should pickup the printer in the search, then just select the printer. If it does not find it let us know.
