OK thanks Mark!

So the Achilles heel when using wireless print servers
is the all in one printing devices. Yes?

A plain old USB printer should work OK?

Is the scanner part of the all in ones that must have
bi-directional comms back to PC. Yes?

If yes.... are there any "high end" wireless
routers/print servers that might work?
