It works through WiFi as well, you have to define your printer as a network
printer.

But what if the wi-fi printer is set up as an ad-hoc connection, no router?

The pocketpc will need to be part of the ad-hoc network, and you will list
the IP address of the network printer. But the HP printer program should not
