So I’m getting ready to set up a wireless network in the house, and would like to set up a wireless print server and wonder if anyone has used one of these? One of the concerns that I have is that I’m also thinking about getting an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier printer.
Does anyone know if one of those will work over wireless networks? Can I use the scanner wirelessly? Will it exchange data just like a regular cable? Or will it totally freak out?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I’m going to bump this just once for Monday morning, as I posted it Friday. So, anyone at all have any experience with trying to do this? Anyone? Bueller?
I don’t think the scanner will work over the network. As far as I know, a printer server isn’t a simple relay box that connects the printer to a single PC. It’s a network device that accepts print requests from any computer and feeds it to the printer. It doesn’t know how to handle a scanner.
Thanks, that’s what I thought…damn…so much for my dreams of the wireless house.
