When you first started out with your home wireless network, sharing a printer on a network is probably all you need to get work done. At some point, however, you may need to provide more access to your printer.
What you need is a print server. Generally speaking, there are many ways to share a networked printer, including the following:

• Buy a printer with a built-in print server: These printers are usually expensive, but they can handle many print jobs. They offer security, reliability, and can queue an impressive number of jobs.
• Buy a wireless print server: You can connect your printer (or printers) to one of these gadgets with a standard parallel, USB, or Ethernet cable, and use the wireless print server to broadcast the printer's availability to other machines on the network.

The second option, using a wireless print server, is much faster and cheaper. Most wireless print servers for the home can usually handle up to three printers, which make them the right size for the job.
The combination of wired access to the printer over a wireless network gives you the best of both worlds -- wireless access and the speed of a wired connection.
