Hello,

I'm looking for a wireless print server that has a parallel port and
supports WPA-PSK encryption. We have an a colour laser printer
without a USB port, and our WLAN is using WPA-PSK.

AXIS, Linksys and a few others do do a product, but only support WEP!
With no plans to update their firmware.

Can anyone suggest a product ?

Thanks in advance.

I've got a D-Link DI-824VUP+, which supports VPN, PRT Mate printing
(both USB and parallel port), WEP, WPA and WPA-PSK.

Thankyou Jerry.

I refined the search for the UK and the dozens of products reduced down
to just the 1 ! The Motorola WPS870G would seem to do the job,
nicely.

It would indeed, if it actually supported WPA. But it doesn't, despite
the specs saying that it does.

See "http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/showthread.php?t=6694"

I have been looking for the same type of print server. As someone else
pointed out, the DI-824VUP+ would work, but it's more than just a print
server.

The only one I was able to find, that really supports WPA, was one from
ActionTec,

"http://actiontec.com/products/home_networking/54mbps_wireless_multiport_print_server/specifications.php"

Review at:
"http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/testdrive/article.php/3485721"

It cost $129, more than the All-In-One product from D-Link.

The less expensive way to go is probably an Ethernet to Parallel Port
adapter, connected to a wireless access point.
