How does a print server work (continued)? -

Just curious because I am going to purchase one soon. I can only find wifi print servers right now. Will those double as a wired 10/100 print server too? Do I need a wireless router to use a wireless print server or just a laptop with wifi?

Most wireless print servers can also cunftion wired, but READ the specs before buying to be sure. If using a wirelss one, then it s MUCH better to connect it via a router. How it works is technical, bus basiccaly acts as a bridge between a network and a USB, not network ready printer and transfers the data from network to the printer
