rinters, goes for as little as $100. A unit from Linksys, the
WPS54GU2 (about $130), works with both U.S.B. and parallel
ort printers.
Beyond being more expensive, wireless print servers can be
more complex to set up. The router and the print server must
use compatible versions of Wi-Fi, and the print server must be
configured to work with the same encryption as the router. By
comparison, a wired print server simply connects to the
network with a cable.
If you already have a Wi-Fi network up and running, you have
another option for printing wirelessly: connect a printer to a PC
in the conventional way - with a cable - and set the PC's
operating system to make the printer available across the
network. This method is economical, although it does require
that the PC connected to the printer be on to allow other users
to print.
To share a printer in Windows XP Home Edition, select
Printers and Other Hardware in the Control Panel, and then
click on Printers and Faxes. Find the printer to share and right-
click on it, choose Sharing, then Share this printer, and then
select Apply.
