Printer Server Advice

[WildManMN]

I ordered a laptop that has wireless and bluetooth capability. This is my first venture into the wireless world. I would like to get a printer server so I can print wirelessly. I have two printers, one an Epson photomate, the other a Canon multipass F80. Looking around, it seems that most printer servers only have one USB port. Comments I have seen in reviews say that not all printers will work with all routers. Any advice out there for me?

Thanks!

I'm not a NetGear Wi-fi fan preferring LinkSys AP's and routers instead, but I recently set up a NETGEAR WGPS606 WiFi Print server and switch for a friend, and gave it a thumbs up.

The NetGear has two USB2 printer ports that can be defined as two network printers, and 4 ethernet switch ports. Worked great with his HP inkjet and Samsung laser.

The Netgear installation utility was the best I've ever seen, and darn near drool proof. Took maybe 5 -minutes to have him printing off his WiFi laptops.

NewEgg has them for $80, and the reviews are solid. Again, you couldn't give me a NetGear Access point or Wireless router, but this gadget worked awesome.
