How to set up a wireless network in the Cab?

you need to download/buy a software program to send "commands"to the printers..once its installed you just click print..

 

if they are wireless printers just hook em up to the jetpack or else with a printer cable

 

With your laptop in the truck and the mobile hotspot running (and away from your home network) you should simply be able to setup your printer (wireless mode) the same you did at home, and the computer should recognize the 2 different networks and understand the different IP addresses of the printers as the laptop moves from one network to the other.

Make sure you name the printers something that won't make it hard to know which one you're trying to print to such as "Truck HP" and "Home HP". You'll probably need to change the "Default Printer" as you move between Home and Truck so you're not in the truck and the laptop is wanting to default to print to your home printer (and it will spend a good deal of time trying to find it if that's the printer you're still trying to print to)

 

with the lap top mine automatically connects to my wifi
as the best connection
I leave my hotspot plugged in charging to my inverter
been on for like 6 months with just one reboot

 

+1 to what this poster said if I'm understanding you correctly.

If you're wanting to be able to print stuff off remotely (back at your house) using the internet to access your printer while out in your truck.... This link gives a few different options. http://www.howtogeek.com/168769/4-easy-ways-to-remotely-print-over-the-network-or-internet/
