I need to connect wirlessly to my printer in my new house. Wirelss print servers cost more than a wireless router with print server. Can I use a wireless router w/ print server to connect to my existing wireless router, in essence just use the router as a print server only ? Or maybe the computer connects directly to the router/print server as a second network or something ? I know NOTHING about this but need a printer hooked up behind the desk and no way to run cables and make wife happy.

While using Wireless Router with printer server, the printer has to be connected with cable to the Router.

The Router might be the central Router or connect with a cable as a switch to another Router (No Wireless Out as a Client from the Router).

Technology vise a wired printer server is better than Wireless. It is more stable and doe not ?Steal? priceless Wireless bandwidth.
