Wireless Printing help required !

sunny2004

I have toyed with the idea of printing using wireless technology for some time.

I have already a number of printers which are NOT wireless but I tought that any of these products might help.
My printers are currently connected directly to my computer by USB2

the products I have in mind are the following

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I currently use a wireless internet connection.

Cheers..

In theory they should work. I'd prefer the linksys.

Are your printers all-in-one or bog standard printers. From my experience, "scanner, copier, fax" models don't work too well if not at all with wifi print servers.

When you say wireless internet, do you mean a wireless internet provider as in a dish on your roof or "household" wireless (for want of a better description.

Printers are just standard epson printers !
asfor the wireless, its bog standard eircom stuff, was just concerned they might clash.

so you think the linksys out of what I posted ?
it would be great to just send the images to the printer from in front of the telly !! lol

i got a Netgear PS121 USB ethernet network print server a couple of months ago, it works a treat and does exactly what you're trying to do. basically, the device plugs to your router via ethernet cable and then you plug the printers USB connection into it. it adds the printer to your network and once set up anybody on the network can access it (there's 4 laptops in my house, all printing now wirlessly without fuss). mine's a refurbished one, only cost £18 + delivery on ebay. might be worth looking into

They wont clash at all - just make sure of your IP addressing - Its usually automatic but just make sure to see it all correctly when your installing
