Print Server Question

[acebake]

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!

No, the print server will still be wired. 😕

It will be wired, but accessible from your wireless network.

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?

Yes, you can print to your wired printer from any wireless client on your network 🙂
