Just now attempting to set up my new pixma pro-1.
I discover that this machine is not a wireless unit. Wow.
Anyway perhaps someone knows what sort of USB adapter would work for me to get the printer to communicate with my linksys router.

The Pro-1 has an Ethernet connection, so you can plug it in to the router via an Ethernet cable.

Hello again.
I realize how the printer can be plugged in.
I need to make it work wirelessly suince the unit is in another room beyond where it can be reached by a cord.
Therefor the idea of usin a USB adapter.

This is not going to be a good idea. It is not even a printer question. It is a network question. I will bet a solution which goes through the ethernet port, as John Hoffman suggested, will be better and easier than the USB.
Can you put a small computer in the room with the Pro-1 to act as a server?

The printer has no accessible operating system so the USB dongles like you would plug into a computer won't work.
