Hi all,
I have a HP PSC 1507 printer, an AT&T wireless router, also a Linksys
BEFW11S4 router, I'm not using the Linksys although it works.I have 2 pcs
both running Win XP. What I want to do is be able to print from either pc
without having to have both pcs turned on (via router ?). I can install the
printer software on both pcs, do I need some kind of print server or can the
router perform this? I suppose I will also need some kind of 2 into 1 printer
cable connector. I am already using both pcs to print to the one printer but
my wife is not going to want to turn my pc on to print from hers. I hope all
this makes sense

for usb connection from the router to the printer

for ethernet/ parallel port, as above
