hello, im not sure that this is the correct forum for this so if it's not please move it for me.

anyway, my question is, i have one laptop and a netgear 54g wireless router, i'd like to have add a wireless printer.
but i have no idea what i need or how to hook it up.

here is what i found on the 1st few links from google:

http://www.superwarehouse.com/Linksys_Wireless_Printer_Server/WPS11/p/58795

and these below are really interesting but i don't have blue tooth on this laptop, and will this mess with the wireless link to the router?

any info will be appreciated
thanks

ok. the first one lets you do USB over wireless, basically, it's just an air-cable, if that makes sense. It won't cause problems with bluetooth or the wireless network, but it doesn't ~operate~ on the network either.

The second is a print server. Hook your printer into that, and it'll connect to the network, just like a computer would. Then you set the printer up as a network printer and go from there.
