Re: [Digital BW] Wireless Printer Connection

2004-03-17 by Ellie Kennard

Must have confused you with all these printers and servers etc.:

The Epson 5500 does not support the Linksys wireless print server. 
Won't print to it. Period. If I chose to, I could buy one of Epson's. 
As I am about to sell the 5500, I won't be doing that! We have always 
used that as a shared printer connected to one of the computers.

The wireless print server works fine with our HP printer. This is not 
for images, just a laser printer for documents etc.

The print server cards in our 7600's work a treat on our network, 
including using our wireless routers and switch with our wireless 
laptop.

All the best
