You can simply connect a regular wired Print Server to the Linksys
802.11b router (assuming you have atleast one LAN free port). There
are many such
devices available. Just a quick search resulted in this one
But I'm sure you can find many others.

so it really doesnt matter. get something that works. And if you are looking
for some massive speed increase by going G instead of B, you are in for a
disappointment. if you have a 2.4g phone, get G so there wont be any
interferrence with your wifi when you talk on the phone.
most connections with B are good for about 5 ~ 6 Mb/s, and G is good for
about 21Mb/s (http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Reviews-40-ProdID-WG602-5.php)
wifi still aint all that and a bucket of chicken.

I believe G operates in the exact same band/frequency range as B...
I guess you missed the point, i need a *wireless* print server for my
*wireless* network.
my printers are n my basement and the router/cable modem are upstairs.
i have no signal problems, but i want my printers banished from the
upstairs realm, so wireless connectivity is paramount.......

No, you are wrong. Again.
b: 2.4 ghz
g: 2.4 ghz (didn't you even wonder how G could talk to B??)
a: 5 ghz
Look it up.

And that would be "moot"...
hth
/daytripper ;-)
So, if he has a 2.4Ghz phone, he should get A.
my comments on speed expectations are still accurate, even if my spelling
wasnt.

What am I missing here?
You want a print server:
802.11b (there must be a typo above)
USB output
Parallel output
Take a closer look at the LinkSys datasheet. If you were looking
at this:

...then it says it's b/g.
