If you&#8217;re stuck lugging your laptop to a USB connection, a wireless print server may be a worthy purchase.<\/p>\n<p>The ever-helpful Digital Inspiration blog lines up three of the most likely suspects available for purchase, costing between $60-$80. You can often find them cheaper, and slightly used, and some models, like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.labnol.org\/gadgets\/make-wired-printer-wireless\/12639\/\">Netgear WGPS606<\/a>, can also serve as a wired router for other non-wireless devices.<\/p>\n<p>Why would you plunk down more than three Andrew Jacksons on a print server, when printers with built-in wireless will probably be $50 in a year or two? Digital Inspiration has a few suggestions:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>If your current printer is relatively new and you paid more than $100 for it, then it may be more economical for you to simply purchase a wireless print server instead of purchasing an entirely new printer with the same features.<\/li>\n<li>If a wireless printer in not available in your area, you can buy a regular USB based wired printer and get someone to ship you a wireless print server. This would incur less shipping costs than ordering a wireless printer.<\/li>\n<li>Some wireless print servers can be used as wireless routers. If you do not have a wireless router at your place, you can opt for a wireless print server as it will not only turn your printer wireless but you also get to setup a wireless home network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s the real question. Have you found a wireless print server with more features or better functionality than what&#8217;s posted at the link? Found another, cheaper solution to the last wire-required device in your house?
