all in one printer/scanner and print server

llanslez — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 22:54:27 +0800

Hi,, i'm using a laptop at home connecting to streamyx via a linksys wireless router. just bought canon mp160 all in one printer/scanner. becos my laptop floats everywhere in the house the intention is to connect to the printer/scanner wirelessly (the printer/scanner is at at fixed location). A couple of questions:-

1) am thinking of using a print server, the print server can connect to my wireless router. question is how much would a print server normally costs?

2) can the print server cater for the scanning function as well, considering the printer/scanner is all in one hardware?

3) any other alternative to connect to this printer/scanner wirelsessly? Maybe is there such thing as bluetooth device to connect USB to USB? (since the printer connects to laptop via usb)

any help appreciated.. a newbie in this.

Cheers,,,,

Modem cum Router: Prolink Hurricane 9000G

This router is all in one - mine stright by lightning, so the modem kong. But has tested the wireless router capability, still ok as still can connect to the network - 2 PC tested networking both wireless and wired still ok.

Question : any way to setup to make this router work as a router only i.e. buy separate modem and connect to the router?

Or can throw already? Or is it repairable?

Thnks.

allo,,,, just wondering whether anyone experience this like me,, and if yes how to fix. am using linksys wag354g - when toretting if i use wireless lan then after 2 3 minutes it will disconnect - i.e. the wireless status looks ok but connection to internet is loss. but no problem at all 24 hours toretting if on wired lan.

my setup - WPA, portforward

not sure whether it's router/modem issue or laptop issue. hv tried changing the security setup to WEP - same problem.

cheers,,,
