Windows 10: Unable to connect printer to laptop wireless although connected to same router

When I try to configure the printer port it shows operation not supported. Therefore cannot use my printer via wifi.

connecting printer to router

hello all, im having a couple questions about setting a printer up on a router, is there a way that a printer can be set up just on a router, i have family that uses a laptop and wants to use without having to turn the desktop on, are there any devices that can do this??? i have heard of like turning a usb cable into a wireless connection, or even just into a ethernet connection,

any thoughts greatly welcome
thanks again

Can I set up a wireless printer to a wired connection to a router?

Yes the router IS wireless, and so is the printer
It was straightforward on the laptop cos it has a wireless card/antenna (?) inside it, but my computer does not, it's CONNECTED to a wireless router

 

wireless connection cannot find the wireless router. Sees the wireless printer, not the router.

New HP All-in-One with Windows 10. Using at home, cannot find the wireless router. Sees the wireless printer, not the router. Tried putting the router info in manually to connect, still did not work. I see the other posts' answers, should I try those steps
with new computer?
