Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Going Wireless...?

Content Type: text/plain

Sounds to me like you need a hub to give you more ports and a print server that
will support more than one parallel attached printer. As an alternative, you
could replace your router with a wireless one with more ports that would also do
the print server function. Dunno if such a box is made by anyone. I am using a
Linksys WRT54G router, a hub, and stand-alone print servers on my HP LJ2300 and
Epson Stylus photo 1280. All work great.

No experience with an ipAQ, but if it does standard 802.11 a/b/g, then it
"ought" to work, at least with a bit of tweaking on your part! :-)
