I would like to print to a network ready printer (it has an ethernet
port and you can configure it with an IP) through a wireless network.

Thanks for the help!!

I actually didn't word it correctly--

I have a wireless router and the printer is hooked up with an ethernet
cord right now. The room the printer is in is powered on one circuit
(which also powers about 5 other rooms--old house) and the printer
resets my computer and dims the lights (also killed my SMART UPS 1000)
when it fires up. I need to move it to another place and I wanted to
do this without running any wires.

this explains better- but you already gave me the answer -- a wireless
> ethernet bridge.

thanks.
