Hp 6180 wireless printer.?

Hello, I am about to buy a hp 6180 wireless printer and i'm not sure how if i need a router to connect to the printer. when i would like it to print does it go from my laptop to router to printer or can i set it up going from laptop direct to printer. I am going to college next year and i would not like to deal with a router just for a printer. Thanks.Hp 6180 wireless printer.?
If you do not have a wireless router, but want to connect


your wireless computer to the HP All-in-One, see the Wireless Ad Hoc Network Setup section in the Basics Guide.


if you want to connect the HP All-in-One to a computer on a wireless


network without using an access point. This is called a peer-to-peer or ad hoc network


in Windows. On a Mac, this is called a computer-to-computer network. You might want to use an ad hoc connection if you do not want to invest in an access point, or you want to set up a simpler, more casual network.


Note An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have an access point.


However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower network performance than with an access point. In addition, you will likely not have shared broadband access (such as cable or DSL), and therefore not be able to use the HP Photosmart Share feature on the HP All-in-One





The rest of the directions are either in your manual or at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00鈥?/a>





Good luck, I plug mine into my router and haven't had a problem with it... as soon as I logged it on with the security key that is..
