Hey,
I want to set up my computer so that it is far from the printer....but i don't want to use cables to connect them(too much of a mess...and i would need too long cables!)...so I know my next answer would be to either put a computer by the printer, and i could print through that computer...or i could get a print server...but the thing is that my main computer is not on wifi. So if i got a wireless print server, would it connect to my router...so i would be able to get to it. Or would i need a wifi card for my computer... I also can't connect the Print Server to the router, because it is right next to my computer...Are there any other solutions that i am missing, and if i did have to get a wireless card...could i still connect to the internet through a Cat5(More reliable)?
