Can I Hardwire USB Printer to a Linksys Wireless Router?

I have an external Cable modem that I want to connect to a
wireless router which will run an 802.11g equipped laptop. A
cheap USB printer will be located next to the wireless router and
I would like to make a hard wire connection from the printer to
the router. I would appreciate the recommendation of a suitable
Linksys wireless router, with a port for the printer, with
encryptation, etc., and good wireless range. A couple of extra
RJ-45 NIC ports on the wireless router, to hard wire other
computers, would be nice. Reasonably expensive is OK.

Thanks,
John

Unless your router has a USB printer port... you can't do this.

Dlink has a router with a USB print server. Otherwise you can get a stand-
alone USB print server from Linksys which u can then hook up to your router
through an ethernet cable or wireless.

Thanks, Lucas. As per your Dlink suggestion, Dl-824VUP router
($145-$190) has an USB print server port. So I will use that
one.
