    need low cost wifi router or print server


    I have this HP 400 printer which supports USB and Ethernet only, no WiFi. My LAN is Wi-Fi based, and I would like to give all systems direct access to this printer via an IP address.

    So I need a low-cost box that supports WiFI and Ethernet. Also needs to work in bridge mode with WPA2 security.
    Any recommendations. *Smile Anything products to avoid?*Mad

    yes, its linux, itl work with any os and any printer.

    GRANTED you might have to make sure you are useing a router with the proper hardware to be able to connect to the printer, or some kind of gobetween, like my router does not have USB...

    not real sure about DD-WRT's print server capibilitys but openWRT definatly has a package for that

    cups[linux style print server]
    p910nd[i dont know style print server, says something about non-spooling whatever that is.]
    samba-server[windows style print server]
    kmod-lp [driver for oldschool printers]
    kmod-usb-printer[driver for usb printers]

    Basic print server

    looks promising, and easy to configure.

    Now as you know wifi devices can be versatile (signal loss, security breach to your home network if improperly secured), this should be taken in account.

    plus as a reviewers said, adding a tcp/ip printing port within xp/vista is simple, in case you MP830 is not in the white list of this device.
