hello,
in my old office (small) I was using my fuji xerox printer wirelessly via ethernet cable connected to router LAN and between printer. so all the office could share the printer trough wifi. when I entered specific IP belongs to printer I would able to find printer set up and could print.
we just moved into a new (bigger office) now router and printer are very far away each other and not possibly make cable connection with printer and router.
is there any way i can set up connection between my printer and router wirelessly rather than connected with ethernet cable ?
thank you for your all replies in advanced.

Hello,
Powerline ethernet solved my problem.
I bought TP Link TL-PA201 powerline etherrnet adapter pair. connect one in to printer and the other one in the router and voila !
no any set up or no any mess, it was easy.
thank you for anyone who interested.

Provided it's a wireless-enabled network printer you don't need to connect it to router with ethernet cable at all.
Just go to the wireless setup menu on the printer display, select your router's SSID, then enter that router's wireless key.

If existing printer does not have built-in WiFi, that won't work of course, since it won't have a wireless setup menu.

Hello Phillip, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately you are right, printer don't have built in Wi-Fi. it is a Fuji Xerox Document Center C360 which is office type copier, printer, scanner. in order to have wireless access, printer should be connected to router via LAN cable trough routers ethernet port. now I am wondering around if I can make this cable connection between printer and router in any possible way via wirelessly ? maybe I can buy a small portable router and and connect to printer and set up this mini router as AP or bridge or client mode may be ? but in this case how should introduce this mini router and main router each other so printer can work in WiFi again...
