Does any wireless print server work?
The wireless groups don't seem to know much about this topic...
Seeking wireless print servers for a Laserjet 1100 and a Canon S800, I'm finding all manufacturers I've looked at so far (Linksys, HP, Motorola, SMC, D-Link) have one or more of the following problems. Incompatible with many, if not most, printers No compatibility list published Poor tech support No "wireless G," only 802.11b WPA security promised and not delivered, or none offered Not available at Radio Shack (an ominous indicator?) Do you know of a wireless print server that lacks most of these problems? --David |

David- The answer can only be found at Radio Shack! You might search the HP web site and see if one of theirs will work with your printer(s). The other day I saw a wireless print server in the local Staples office supply store, that would support TWO USB printers at the same time, as well as connect two or three local computers via Ethernet. I don't recall the brand, it might have been Linksys. The best support I've experienced was with D-Link, but that could have changed by now. Chances are, you will have to take what you get, regardless of brand. The out-of-country support people I've dealt with may speak perfect English, but they don't speak computer support very well.

I've installed units from both manfacturers at customer sites and both have worked quite well and were very easy to install/setup. |
