Actually, more details would be helpful, but generally most products today are backwards compatible (G is). You can ususally set the higher capacity product to function at the lower lever and everything should work. You may or may not need to tweak settings through the software/firmware. Probabaly not.
The G is considered the more advanced of the two technologies and was originally designed to sort of gap the bridge that "a" did not. G is supposed to provide the performance (54Mbps) of the "a" technology while being compatible with the "b" technology - specifically being fully backwards compatible. Oddly enpough, the "b" is older technology than the "a" but the "G" is the latest of the three.
So yes, really it should work.
Also, you may be able to upgrade your firmware in the "B" to the "G" level. Look up your "b" product and see if you can upgrade it.

Nope, you'll see the compatibilities on wireless network products...(example: b+g g b) and there's a couple more types out there. But unless it's compatible with both, then no go buddy.

Most wireless g are compatible with wireless b network. Try it. You can't hurt anything.

In general, b and g use the same frequencies, and equipment tends to work with both.
If the documentation for the g-printserver doesn't say, you may have to try it to find out.
