I have a wireless net in the house with 3 computers on it. Can anybody
recommend a Print Server?

I bought a little Netgear parallel that I like, but have you considered
connecting the printer to one of your computers and sharing it with printer
sharing? (assuming your OS has that feature and most do)

That's how its setup now. I have a PC hardwired to the router and 2 laptops
on wireless. Printer is shared through the PC. Would like to have it served
on its own. Thanks for answering

I have a Trendware TE-100 mini print server. My network consists of six pc's
connected via a Linksys ethernet router and a Linksys wireless G access
point. The little print server is connected to the router and accessed by
all the PC's and works extremely well,much to my surprise. It cost about
thirty dollars

Rolf;

I've used the trendmicro mini print servers (wireless) as well as
Hawking Tech's 6127 mini wired print server which plugs directly into
the printer parallel port.

As it/they are both stand alone there is no requirement to have any PC
on to use the print. Mine and the printer stay powered on 24x7 for
years now. Works absolutely great.

Bob

That seems to be exactly what I need. Found it for $45 w/$10 rebate.
Thanks a lot
