    ok,

    maybe its just me but i cant find a WIRELESS router that does what my wired one does.

    so im currently using some smc router whihc has 4 wired ports and a parallel thing for using ym printer on the network.

    im looking for a wireless router that has wired ports as well and will support sharing my printer (epson stylus 820). like im a networking nub. so i understand that right now, im able to print off anything thats connected (if printserver is installed) since the printer is connected to the router. most wireless+wired routers dont have this like port anymore and i THINK the printer cant use a usb cable as opposed to the parallel.

    anyways any relatively cheap router which has wireless g/wired/ and can share my printer like it is now all in 1? or does anyone have any idea on how i can share the printer like it is now without it connected to the router itself (i wont have a computer which is always on to go through to print thigns)

    thanks!
