    Greetings Tussya,

    That's a great question. The Surface Pro will run Windows 8 Pro, and will be able to install drivers for printers just as a laptop or Desktop would. You can print over WiFi with the Surface Pro.

    depending on your printer and how it is connected (other PC? networked?), yes.

    Exactly how? My surface pro 2 does not find my wifi printer Lexmark 6500. Can I forced it to find it, or can I use an installation CD that Printer came with, connect it via usb drive and install?

    You have to install the drivers for the specific printer on the Surface Pro. I use a HP C5180 non-WIFI printer, which is hardwired to my Uverse router. After installing the HP drivers for the HPC5180 in the Surface Pro it will now print using WI-FI from the Surface Pro to the printer. The HP C5180 also had to be selected as the DEFAULT printer in the Surface Pro.
