Please log in for more thread options Hello, I'm looking for a wireless print server that has a parallel port and supports WPA-PSK encryption. We have an a colour laser printer without a USB port, and our WLAN is using WPA-PSK. AXIS, Linksys and a few others do do a product, but only support WEP! With no plans to update their firmware. :( Can anyone suggest a product ? Thanks in advance. | ||||||||||||||||

Thankyou Jerry. I refined the search for the UK and the dozens of products reduced down to just the 1 ! The Motorola WPS870G would seem to do the job, nicely. | ||||||||||||||||

It would indeed, if it actually supported WPA. But it doesn't, despite the specs saying that it does. See "http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/showthread.php?t=6694" I have been looking for the same type of print server. As someone else pointed out, the DI-824VUP+ would work, but it's more than just a print server. The only one I was able to find, that really supports WPA, was one from ActionTec, "http://actiontec.com/products/home_networking/54mbps_wireless_multiport_print_server/specifications.php" Review at: "http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/testdrive/article.php/3485721" It cost $129, more than the All-In-One product from D-Link. The less expensive way to go is probably an Ethernet to Parallel Port adapter, connected to a wireless access point. | ||||||||||||||||

I've got a D-Link DI-824VUP+, which supports VPN, PRT Mate printing (both USB and parallel port), WEP, WPA and WPA-PSK. -- Stein Arne | ||||||||||||||||
