Wireless Printing

[huggybear]

Hi i am trying to make my two printers wireless. I have a HP1022 and a Epson DX 8400 I am currently using a 2wire wireless router is there a way to use the wireless router to make my printers wireless.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rob,

 

The only way I can think of to do this is to use a wireless print server.

 

They are not cheap for a good one, and using something like say a Netgear print server may not work with one of your printers properly - they aren't always reliable.

 

THE way to do it is to buy an Epson server for your Epson printer and HP server for your HP printer.

 

You can also buy them with two USB ports to allow you to attach two printers.

 

Have a look on ebay to get an idea of whats available.

bob,

 

i do most of my printing with the help of this hp print server, (Buy HP Wireless G USB Print Server. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .),

and i find hp customer help fantastic.

i have seen it available on amazon, ebay and other places too.

i find it works well most of the time but i do have to switch it off every now and then as it sometimes does not want to talk to the router, pc or laptop.

good luck.

does your print server have extendable (spelling i know :rolleyes:) aerials. if so by some bi-directional antenna's.

or trey home plugs...you can run ethernet, USB, and other usefull stuff through your wall socket (uk wall soket>plug socket on your wall).

 

maybe worth a quick look
