Hi, all:

I have a buffalo wireless router (WBR-G54, 802.11g) and a simple
wireless LAN, but am thinking of adding printer sharing feature to the
wireless LAN. I do know that Buffalo have a USB wireless print server
product (http://www.buffalotech.com/wireless/...V2USBTX1.html),
but here are some of my questions:

1. Other than buying a hardware USB print server, is there any other
"simple" way (maybe using software approach) that I could share my USB
color printer with other computers in my wireless LAN?? (that is,
using FTP, TCPIP..or other protocols to actually share the printer)..

2. If I really have to go for print server "hardware" as the best
solution, could anyone recommend some good products that works well
with WBR-G54 (802.11g)??

Thanks!

You could attach it to a desktop system and then share it on the network.
