Advice on Print Servers Please
As you may have seen from my thread entitled 'Difficulty Printing via Wireless', Mad Jock, SD and others have pointed out that Xp Home will only support up to 5 attached devices and I am over that. I therefore need a print server. This is where I need advice.
The network is a main Dell PC with a Canon Pixma MP520 attached via USB and all the attached devices - laptops i-touches etc are connected via a Netgear DG834Gv3 wireless modem router and the laptops share the printer. All running Xp Home SP3.
I am not too adept at all this so I am looking for something which will not be too taxing to set up. The research on the www so far leads me to the following observatione.
The Canon only has USB ie no serial port.
It is a multi function device and so requires 2 way and is not wireless capable.
Netgear have something called a PS121 which seems to fit the bill.
Any comments/ suggestions/ thought gratefully received.
Thank you and cheers!
