Wireless printing with unattached printer?
Last response: in Windows 7
I've installed the printer software on my laptop and successfully tested the ability to print when connected via USB. I also added the computer as a wireless connection.
When I try to print wirelessly, nothing happens. The document just sits in the queue.
I do not currently have the printer hooked up to anything but power. Am I wrong in thinking I should be able to print without a computer attached to the printer? If not, how can I troubleshoot this? Printer is HP c3180 AIO and laptop is HP Pavilion DV6.
Thanks!

Uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver. It installed drivers with the assumption of a hardwired connection, because you initially had a hardwired connection.
Also, what I meant by I didn't see anything stating it was a wireless printer was that when I look up the specs for your printer I don't see anything labeling it as a wireless printer.
