Recommended wireless print server?
ChadTower:
Don't need the manuf, thanks, I'm just intrigued the topography.

I think Ark_Ader was talking about a powerline adapter combined with a "wired" printserver. That would be my first choice too. Would be nice if there was a powerline based USB printserver, but I doubt it.
It's my experience that wireless doesn't really work well through the whole house. At least it doesn't in dutch houses which tend to be built from concrete. Guess US houses are mostly made from wood though, so it might work fine for you. Still I've never been a big fan of wireless networks.

Yes exactly my point about the wireless print servers today on the market. Poor Chadtower is probably thinking what I'm thinking: Old PC with Win98 or NT4 Server. Heck I could have built one by now. ;D
Its a shame when a simple solution is not viable. I used to bang on about Airlink 101 products (bought a NAS and it did a flip and lost 500gbs in 10 secs) being :censored: but I just bought a Airlink101 AP client, and it works a treat. Maybe you can go to your local Frys and try an Airlink print server out.
Their return policy is outstanding. :applaud:

No local Fry's here. Our local computer supply chain was CompUSA.
