Modem & Print Server

[jackgreat]

Hello Guys,

I have a modem and a wireless router at home. I also have a usb HP Multifunction printer.

Recently my modem went bad so I was having internet problems. Now I need to buy a new modem. Since I also have a printer, I wanted to connect it in a way that the laptops and a desktop at home can use it.

So basically I need an ADSL2+ modem and a print server. I could not find a device with Modem+Wireless Router+PrintServer. Thus I guess I need to buy 2 devices.

I found just a modem, now I found a print server DLINK-DPR 1020 print server. Now the box shows - Router <- Print server <- Printer. The router is connected to a pc thru a wire. The print server is connecter to printer thr usb and router thru rj45 lan wire.

I wanted to know that will my laptops which is connected to the wireless router be able to print or I will need a system which is connected to the router thru wire and then only printing can be done.

Thanks,
Jack

Give details about the Router.
You should be able to access the print server/printer from all the Devices connected to the router..
Have you bought the modem and print server??

The router is a Buffalo Wireless Router. It's a normal wireless router. The print server is Dlink DPR-1020 print server. I just want to confirm that this print server when connected to the router will enable laptops which connect via wifi to print.
