How to connect a wireless printer to a wired network through a Wi-Fi router?
I have a wireless printer in my office. In the office there is a Wi-Fi router and D-Link without free slots. Is it possible to install a printer through a router so that computers on the local network can see it? Connecting directly to my computer is not an option, a colleague mainly uses the printer.

Yes, it's possible.
Most likely, you need to connect it locally to the computer via USB to set up a wireless network once, or do it from the printer panel, if it has one, after which it will be possible to connect it as a network one.
For more information on how to do this, please read the instructions for the specific printer model.
Little initial data:
1) what kind of WIFi router?
2) what kind of Dlink?
3) are they on the same network? or have different networks? how are they related?
Perhaps, but with a caveat:
By connecting a printer to the router, you will get its subnet, if clients are on the same subnet, then they will see the printer.
Connecting the printer to WiFi:
1. Go to the printer settings and enter the SSID (Network Name) and Password
2. Get the IP, go to the web interface using it and transfer the printer to a static IP for the DHCP pool (not necessary, but it will be better)
3. We download the drivers on the user's PC who needs a printer, install them and find the printer by IP (if you transferred it to static, you can immediately register the IP yourself without using the search)
4. We throw a test page. Ready
