Answer 1

I currently use a D-Link 714P+, which is a wireless router that also includes a print server - it works fine. In addition, you can either get a stand-alone wireless print server that will do the same thing, or you can connect a non-wireless print server to one of the LAN outputs of a wireless router.

But before you do any of those things you may want to check into a new printer that already has a built-in wireless print server. With the money you save by not buying a print server, you can possibly purchase a new printer - and have it all

good luck

Answer 2

Yes you will probably need to buy a printer server which will plug into a router which cost about £60 or you could link your computer up using a network connection and share the printer that way, however you have to have both pc's on to use the printer.

Answer 3

How many computer do you have?

If you have a laptop and printer but want to print something wireless then I would go for a wireless print server. They don't cost much and the size are no where near as a server.

It look like the Motorola brand are cheaper than the Linksys and other brand. Take a look and see what might fits your budget.
