Prints great from my phone, argh!

Interesting. I haven't had a problem with my brother on our wifi since I bought it. Before that, I had an HP that didn't support wifi. I did have an old linksys router that I loaded some software on that allowed it to basically make my old printer into a wifi enabled printer. Now that we have the brother, I don't need it.

But if you can plug into a router with ethernet, that's almost always better than wireless.
