can i put the printer in a cupboard and set up a wireless connection . the usb port is more square unllike the standard usb

The R285 is not a wireless printer. The square connection is a normal printer end connection for a USB printer cable. If you wanted to give it wireless capabilities you would need to run that printer cable (square 1 end, flat the other) from the printer to a wireless router, change your print driver from Epsom R285 to Gimpprint ( I do this with another Epsom printer). This may not be a very tidy solution depending where your router is.

if your ISP is BT the router they use can be used as a print server

you could use a wireless print server
