Anyone know of quality wireless USB printer servers that function like the Apple Airport Express, but are a lot cheaper?

Would want to connect a Canon i860 printer to several computers via a wireless network, ideally both PCs and an Apple iBook with integrated Airport Extreme.

Also, ideally would prefer that the actual computer that the wireless usb printer adapter is connected to doesn't have to be on for the network printer to function properly? (also, does the printer have to always be one, you will it come out of standby on it's own when it receives a print signal).

note, if you need 802.11G and/or WPA the linksys one works fine ('admin' sw is pc only, but the device does support appletalk, too, even tho it's not advertised as such)

Could you provide a link to that Linksys wireless USB print server?

I really only need 802.11b but would like to be able to print files from an Apple iBook (build in Airport Extreme) in addition to another Linksys WUSB11 802.11b wireless USB adapter connected Windows XP Home computer.
