I have an all in one printer scanner card reader (HP 2575 with USB port) that’s connected through an Ethernet cable to a wifi router for my home network. Can I connect the printer to the router wirelessly? Removing the need for the cable.
TIA

I don't think it is possible to do that with this model printer as it only has USB/Ethernet connections on the back.
Why do you want to remove the Ethernet cable? Ethernet is the most reliable way of connecting the printer to the network, We have a few wireless ones in work and thay are nothing but a pain in the back side.
Just noticed how old this post is DOH
Never mind. ;)
Anyway, the answer to the question is yes. There are numerous plug-in dongles available which give wireless connectivity to ordinary printers.
Here is just one example:
