Thanks, Truman, this is getting me pointed in the right direction.

I do have an ethernet card on my PC but it is taken up by the
connection to my Linksys 5 Port Switch; my internet connection comes
into the house and then to a cable modem and then to the switch, then
branching off to two PCs.

I can't even install a PCI card access point because all my slots are
full.

Can I plug a wireless access point into the Switch?

Will WinXP Pro automatically configure it?

Will I then make stunning prints with my new 2200 straight out of the
box?
