I recently bought a Brother DCP-j140W printer, when I went to set it up I discovered it was WI -fi, as I had thrown the box away I couldn't take it back to the shop, but when I asked advice about setting it up they knew as much about computers as I do-----------zero.
any advice on setting this up to a desktop

This printer seems to have USB (cable not included though!) as well as WiFi.
Your two options are:
1. Buy a Type A > Type B USB cable and plug the printer directly into the Desktop
2. Connect the printer to your network via WiFi and then add a network printer to your Desktop
Option 1 is simplest, option 2 is more flexible (if you ever want to print from more than one machine)
Does this help?

There was no cable with the printer, when I contacted the shop they told me there was no need for a cable, unfortunately I have no idea how to connect it to Wi-Fi.

There's drivers, software and manuals here: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/eu/gb/en/model_top/colormfc/dcpj125_all.html?reg=eu&...
Maybe something helpful.
