A wireless printer is a type of printer that connects to devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones without the need for physical cables. It uses technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to communicate with these devices, allowing users to print documents and images from anywhere within the network range. These printers are convenient for home and office use, as they eliminate the clutter of wires and enable multiple users to print from different devices. Many wireless printers also support mobile printing apps, making it easy to print directly from smartphones or tablets without needing a computer.
