Thank you for all the wonderful advice. I do appreciate it.
The reason I am leaning towards BT is for space. And not having WiFi all the time, how do you connect via WiFi without internet? USB is only good for about 10 ft of cable run. Unless I have been fibbed to by the sales people.
The printer is in the cabinet above the fridge with towels. One laptop is in the bedroom with us for movie watching, the other one is mobile like we are. I could just do as the better half asked and put it on a shelf that I will make and put under the dining room table...
