I have a non wireless desktop connected to an HP4215 printer . I also have a wireless capable laptop and a Linksys wrt54g router that will be used in this mini network. When I get the satellite connection next week I want to be able to control this printer from my wireless laptop. Should I get a print server to provide this wireless access to the printer from my laptop, or is there a better way?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, basically you need a printer server.

However if you printer is AIO you probaly would be able to use only the Printer part, unless HP selles printer server for this particular printer.

Thanks Jack - I am relieved that it should be this straight forward. I only need the print function of this all-in-one device for my network set up. Would I need a print server if my desktop had wireless capability? I ask because it may be cheaper to just add a wireless card on the desktop if that would work.
