Does anyone know what printers are out there (if any) to buy that can be set up for wireless printing at home and maybe how to set it up? I use a Mac laptop, a wireless router and have airport and bluetooth built in. I'm not too technical and have searched the net but haven't got a clue. Any help would be appreciated.

Most printers get an adaptor like this http://www.amazon.com/BT450-Bluetooth-Wireless-Printer-Adapter/dp/B000BD8FVC

And then work wirelessly, they have to have "Optional connectivity
HP bt450 Bluetooth Wireless Printer and PC Adapter" written on the box.

Pc World have the 2 above for 199, bear in mind wireless printing isnt perfect and altho fairly easy to setup (you will have to check that MAC is compatible for both items) it can be gimpy and just not work after you have turned off the printer and need to be resetup.

I have the same Mac set up and use a Canon pixma 5200ir (I think) which has built in wireless and works a dream on the Mac.

Was about £110 on amazon.

Great for photos and stuff.
