I have a Vista Home Premium edition laptop that I keep upstairs. I would like to be able to print to a HP 2210si printer downstairs. There is no network currently established. I'm ditching an old computer downstairs that is virus-infected, and I would like to be able to leave the printer down there with no computer attached to it, and use the laptop upstairs.

Unfortunately, no. The printer is about 5 years old. It's network-able, but not wireless.
