Some printers have a wireless adapter, but most of them don't. There are two cases. You connect the printer to a computer which has a wireless adapter, or if your printer has a lan card you can connect it to your wireless router and use advantages of wireless networking in that way.

Can you have wireless printer connected to a desk top via a usb cord and to a wireless laptop?

Yes probably. However, there's probably some more logical ways of connecting your desktop to your printer. 1. Does your printer have an ethernet port? If so, use this to connect to your switch or desktop NIC directly. 2. Does your desktop have a wireless card? Use this and connect to your printer. 3. If not 1 or 2, setup a wireless access point or get a wireless router with some ethernet ports. You'll easily be able to connect all your devices this way.

How can you hook up your laptop to a printer without any cords?

There are four widely used systems and it largely depends on what you're printer supports. Bluetooth printers are available. So if your printer and laptop support bluetooth, it should be fairly straightforward to connect them. Wi-fi printers are also available, these are slightly more awkward to connect to the laptop as the intention is that wi-fi connects to a WAP (wireless access point), not all operating systems allow you to connect a laptop direct to a printer via wi-fi. A third option is wireless USB; this has two meanings: There is a wireless USB standard, for which products are starting to emerge. If your printer supports wireless USB, then that is the way to go. An alternative is a wireless USB extender, these are pairs of devices which can be used to interconnect devices. The fourth technology carries USB or UTP on the mains wiring; adaptors plug into mains sockets and allows you to interconnect devices using the main wiring.
