When we use a printer with wireless between the PC and printer, does that signal between PC to printer with internal WIFI signals ... or, does it go from PC to personal ISP web server, then back to Pr...

Hmmm .. to this technicapped Monkey, seems more trouble than its value. I can go thru a hardwire and use a DOCK to set up everything, then only have one wire to install when I want to hook up the laptop to 'home base" ... so that might be the best way to go based on all the info I have at this time.
Thanks for the input guys M44 :)
If you only have 1 computer, that may be the best option. However, if you have multiple computers, tablets or phones, a wifi setup using a router would be better.wa8yxm wrote:

IF using Verizon cell as hot spot it is possible they will bill you for all the data that runs through the phone.. EVEN if it is just returning to your printer.
Not sure about other hot spots... When I am using a hot spot my configuration is like this
Printer ---USB---PC---Hotspot.
Verizon, or any other carrier, is only going to bill you for traffic over their network. If you have a Hotspot setup and print without sending any data over their network, no data charges will be incurred.
Intresting what shows up when I hit QUOTE is what I typed but it is DIFFERENT from what was in the message... Will edit the original message I typed.
