I have been exhaustively searching for a wireless print server that will work with my home network...Unfortunately (if that is the correct word), I am using WPA-PSK AES and
apparently, there aren't any wireless print servers out there that support AES encryption, that I can find anyway.

I did find a print server made by Axis that supposedly supports AES, but I am finding it difficult to justify spending $150 for a single-port print server. I just find it
difficult to believe that the mainstream manufacturers like Linksys, Belkin, D-Link, Netgear, etc...do not have print servers that utilize the maximum encryption that their own
routers offer. Am I missing something?

Many thanks!

I wouldn't be too surprised because WPA2 is hardly working smoothly
where it HAS been implemented. They can't even get it working with
products that have been around for ages, let alone with new products.

Does seem strange, doesn't it.

It is also strangly difficult to shop for any wireless devices with AES
requirement. Even if they support AES, it is difficult to determine that
the support is there.

Did you look at
"http://actiontec.com/products/home_networking/54mbps_wireless_multiport_print_server/index.php"

This is the only model I've found with WPA. Motorola advertises it, but
they don't really have it on their WPS870G.
