Looking for 802.11g wireless router with parallel printer port, no such thing?
Right now I have a weird setup, I have a dlink wireless router (with some wired ports on it also which I use for my desktops), one of the wired ports on my wireless router goes to a wired siemens router with a parallel printer port connection in it (which I use so all my computers can access the printer). This has been working fine, but now I have a laptop with vista, and of course I can't get working drivers to print to my printer.
I'm looking to make things simple. I want a wireless router with 4 wired connections, and a parallel printer port. I seem to not be in luck. It seems most wireless routers with a "printer port" have a port other than a parallel printer port. Which won't work well for me for me since my printer only has a connection to go into a parallel printer port. (I'm not interested in buying a new printer, the one I have now works fine)
I'm thinking my option if I can't find a wireless router with a parallel port, perhaps I can find something to turn my printers parallel into something like a rj45 connector. However It seems most devices I've found will essentially be the same thing as my siemens router, but smaller (and hence I will continue having a printer->wired router with parallel port->wireless router situation which I don't like.
Can anyone recommend a solution for this? preferably theres a wireless/wired/parallel printer combo router out there made my a major brand company, but I've looked everywhere and can't seem to locate one.
