Not having any real world experience thought I would pose the question here
Currently my PC has an Orange Livebox connected via ethernet and I have wireless access to my laptops.
What I want to do is have a wirelss connection for 2 printers - Canon Pixma and HP B9180. The Canon has USB and IEEE-1284 Parallel Port and the HP9180 has a USB and Ethernet port.
I think that the easy way to do this would be to purchase a wireless print server and connect both printers via usb. Not to worried about the Canon as I am happy to use the usb. But for the HP the preference would be to use the Ethernet port (Peer-to-peer networking is not supported)as it has an embedded web server which allows full communication to the printer status etc.
At the moment have not delved too deeply into the subject and only found a few wireless print servers offering usb connection only.
Any suggestions/recommendations or alternatives appreciated - although must say that I have an aversion (unreasonable maybe?) to Belkin products
