Wireless printer

[imamartian]

Hi can anyone recommend a good (budget) wireless enabled printer?

You can have wireless, or good, or budget, but I've not found any printer that meets all three requirements.

hmmm! ok, so what's the least i should pay for a good wireless printer?

The only one I have experience with is this one

They are OK.

I still prefer a wired solution though.

We used them on wireless laptop trollies, when the signal get a bit flaky get ready for 100 pages of "wingdings"

Why not Wifi an existing printer? That's exactly what I have done. I have a HP 970 CXi and attached a 3COM print server to it. Works a treat. Let me know if you want more details as I have had mine running like this for years.

I've got a similar setup but using a netgear print server, the trouble is the print servers are still relatively expensive to buy yet you can now pick up a wifi enabled printer for less than the server <£50 so it doesnt make economical sense anymore unless you can get a saving from the consumption of inks in both setups?

I second BOB on the shared printer.

BTW a cheap printer normally costs more to run.
