LinkSys Gateway and Printer Connection Help

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi,

I've just installed a LinkSys ADSL Gateway (router) and at the moment
I am connecting to the gateway from a desktop and a laptop both by
wireless i.e. there is nothing hard wired to the ethernet ports of the
gateway. My printer currently connects to my desktop via a USB
connection but I'm thinking of gettting a USB->Ethernet adapter and
connecting my printer to the router rather than the desktop. This
would mean the laptop and desktop would be connecting to the router by
wireles and the printer would be connected to the router via the
ethernet connection.

Question is, would this work? Would I be able to see the printer and
print to it from the laptop and the desktop? Do I need some kind of
print server? If it would work, any recommendations for the
USB->Ethernet adapter?

Many thanks,

Scott
