Print Server: USB 1.1 vs 2.0/Wired?

I was wondering, if I have both laser and inkjet USB 2.0 compatible printers that I want to network, which print server protocol should I use? USB 1.1 servers are cheaper and more readily available but is the speed advantage of 2.0 significant for printing? Also, is USB 2.0 speed wasted on the 10mbps speed of a 802.11b wireless server? 802.11g/USB 2.0 servers are rare/expensive enough to make a hardwired server much more attractive. Any thoughts along these lines? I don't recall seeing this topic mentioned elsewhere.
