I bought the SMC7008BR, and have a question

[FlippyBoy]

I jumped on this Hot Deal knowing that all I needed was the hub and the print server (not the broadband router). I have 4 PCs at home, and I already have one of them set up as several types of servers, as well as a broadband router, so I do not want to re-configure that portion of my network. Is there any way I can use the print server, without using the broadband router portion? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried reading through the documentation pertaining to the print sharing function? I have the 7004br, and while I use it for both printer and cable modem sharing, I don't recall the print feature being dependent on the broadband router functionality. If the manual (on CD) is similar to the 7004 manual, chapters 3 and 5 are the relevant chapters.
