“This is what I need to be able to use my wifi capabilities on my laptop with my Kodak XP-7 All In One Printer? We don't have landline phone. We do not have a land line phone line and use a Sprint Air Card for our internet access. All that I want to be able to do is print to my Kodak printer from my lap top without having to hard wire it. I was told by Geek Squad that this would solve my problem.”

You would need to set up a home network, with a wireless router that your printer could connect to. Your Sprint aircard only provides internet access to the device it is connected to, nothing else, that includes your printer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Seems as if you'd have to connect your laptop to the printer through wireless, much like how you would connect a laptop to a wireless network. Wireless printers can connect to networks based on their SSID (Wireless Network Name). You'll need to figure out how to use the wireless that's built in the computer (assuming you have one) and set it up to be an Access Point. Doing this will create an Ad-Hoc network. This network will now look like a wireless network and you'll tell your printer to connect to that new name. I'd go in to detail, but I'd probably just Google how to connect my wireless printer to my laptop.
