802.11g vs USB Wire
For those of you using an 802.11g wireless print server with a USB printer,
does it print noticeably slower than when using a conventional USB cable? TIA

BOTH ARE FASTER THAN THE PRINTER CAN PRINT SO IT REALLY DOES NOT MAKE

TIA Before you buy check that the printer server you have in mide supports your printer AND how well it supports your printer. A common problem is no support for status information (eg ink level or paper out detection) or anything requiring a return channel .

A common problem is no support for status information (eg ink level or paper out detection) or anything requiring a return channel . Thanks for your reply, you make a very good point. I already enquired with Canon about it and they said that they will not provide tech support for WiFi connections to their Pixma printers, although they said it might work anyway. Hopefully someone will chime in with a success story. I'm hoping to use a LinkSys 802.11g print server with one of the Pixma D series (such as the IP6600D). I checked with LinkSys but they never got back to me. Thanks again.

It would be worth posting a request to see if anyone else has tried that server with your printer. Google found this rather negative review... http://reviews.cnet.com/Linksys_WPS5...2.html?tag=top
