    MPC 2050 wireless without network?

    Have an MPC2050 installation in a construction trailer with no network set up.
    It is basically 3 laptops using hotspots for internet connections.
    Is there an aftermarket device that could be used for printing and scanning on the MPC2050 with all 3 laptops and not have to hardwire these

    Buy a cheap wireless router, plug it directly into the copier, then connect each laptop wirelessly to the router.

      I have a system setup this way(Construction trailer in a remote location). The only problem is that they have to disconnect from hotspot in order to connect to the wireless. If this is the case and they are wanting to print off the internet, they need to place the print job in the printer queue then connect to the wireless.

      You might also check if the MPC 2050 supports AirPrint for iPods, etc.
