I work at Circuit City, and we just got in a wired print server. I have an 802.11b wireless network at home, and I was wondering: could I plug the printer into the print server, run a CAT 5 cable from the print server to the wireless router, and have the print server be wireless (even though the print server is wireless itself)?

Let me know!

Yeah that's what I mean...it'll be wired from it to the router, but then wireless from there, right?

No, it's still a wired client. However it will be accessible from anyone that is configured to use your network.

What I mean--even though it's wired from it to the wireless router, I can still print wirelessly from the kitchen, right? It's going to be connected into a wireless router....so that'd be right, right?
