Title: wireless printserver with 655 router
Post by: thor100 on July 31, 2009, 10:41:18 AM: does anyone use a wireless printserver witht the 655? If so does it work with both xp sp3 and vista? What type of printserver are you using? Also can a regular printer be plugged into the usb port on the 655 and be used as a wireless network printer?
thanks for any solutions to me questions.

you can connect up to 4 USB printers.

Doesn't matter which OS you use. It supplies standard TCP/IP or LPR ports.

you can get both wired and wireless printer now for a little more than the usb only version
i got a Canon PIXMA 5200R with USB, Wireless 11g and wired 100mbps ;P wireless printers are so nice, you can just plug in power and your done ;)
