Please log in for more thread options wants to add a printer to his network using a wireless print server. Wireless print servers seem to go for about $80-120, but you can get a wireless router with a built-in a print server for much less, for about $40-50. Can you set up a wireless router w/ print server as a plain print server? Thanks, -John johnbkim@fastELEPHANTmail.fm (remove the pachyderm) | ||||||||||||||||

The built in print server on a wireless router might not be useful for anything other than Postscript or HPLC3 compatable printers with ethernet interfaces. A device designed specifically as a print server may be able to handle some models of USB printers and some models of printers that do not use Postscript or HPLC3.
