The J4550 does not come with wireless capability (the J4680 is the only printer in that series that does) but you can make your J4550 work on a wireless network by attaching it to a wireless print server, such as the TP-Link TL-WPS510U 150Mbps Wireless Print Server. Initially there is some setup involved to change your print drivers and install the print server, but once you've done that it's ready to go and you can print over your wireless network.
