Recommended wireless print server for my Canon Pixma MP280

[seeker001]

Hi guys!

I would like to connect my all-in-one printer Canon Pixma MP280 to my wireless B/G network at home. Which wireless print server can you please recommend that works in two-ways with this Canon Pixma MP280 printer, i.e. not only printing but also scanning over the wireless network?

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance!

I can't say about print servers. I've never dabbled in them. In my personal opinion though there are two better options.

 

1. A printer that is already wireless capable.

 

2. A printer with a network (ethernet) port. With this setup you can hardwire the printer to the wireless router. Then all the computers on the network can connect to it. This is the setup I use.

Hi RandyL, thank you! Unfortunately with Canon MP280 the first condition is not met, I thought too late about buying the MP495. Neither is the second advise applicable unless I buy a wireless router & print server (but the router and the printer are not supposed to be in the same room) or a LAN usb print server. I will think about it.
