Trendnet Wireless Parallel Print Server.
This unit worked great and install was pretty easy. I am using in my home wireless network of two PCs and one iMac i5. I configured the print server from my mac, I had to turn off my Mac's wifi and hook an ethernet cable to the print server. Once I did that I could connect to the config via the web browser. The first thing I did was to change the print servers IP address to a 192.168.1.x number as it comes with a default of 192.168.0.x which is not in my home network. I entered my wireless routers info including the passkey for the security, entered the name of my printer as the port name, saved it then power it off, disconnected the ethernet cable and powered the print server back on. I turned on my Macs wireless and was able to connect to the print server's config page via the web browser. Everything was good. Installing the printer was easy on the Mac just add printer, it found my printer automatically and select the generic postscript driver, and that was done. For the PC's you have to create a new port from the Add A Printer from the control panel, just follow the PDF instructions that is included on the CD and it worked just fine. Great item.
