Explanation

802.11 (Wi-Fi) provides wireless network connectivity throughout a SOHO environment, allowing any device on the network to print from anywhere within range - typically the entire building. Infrared (IR) requires direct line-of-sight and an extremely short range, making it impractical for 'any location.' Serial is a wired point-to-point connection. Bluetooth has a very limited range (typically ~10 meters/33 feet) and is generally used for short-range peripheral connections, not building-wide printing. Wi-Fi (802.11) is the correct wireless standard for SOHO-wide printing coverage.
