Sorry about the lame topic name, couldnt think of anything more appropriate.

I have a Belkin Wireless G Router....

Do I need something seperate for a printer server? I'd like to be able to use my printer for my laptop also... what do I need for this?

Thanks in advance.
 
You can share your printer if it's attached to another machine (if it's a USB or parallel connector), using file and print sharing on Windows. The problem with this setup is the machine with the printer attached must always be on if you need to print.

An alternative is to get a network printer (one that has an ethernet connector that can be plug into your router), or get a converter that converts USB or parallel connector into a network connector or wireless adapter. But this setup cost more.
