I am looking into the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0, so far.
I have 2 printers which reside on a windows cabled network. I also have a seperate wireless network setup, that i can access the wired network from. I am looking to getting a wireless print server, so that i can connect to the printers and print to them.
I was just wondering if any of you can throw me some good models out there.

You don't need a wireless print server. If you can access the wired PC's from the wireless end, you should also "see" the wired printers.

I agree as I have pretty much the same combination wireless & wired setup. I'm using the wired D-Link model DP-301U print server. Easy setup and have not had a single problem with it. Works very nicely. I believe the cost is around $50-60.
