Just curious if anyone has had any experience with this wireless print server?

Netgear at Buy.com

I've got a Samsung ML-1430 that I'd like to share over a small airport network (original basestation) without having it tied to one particular machine.

Any reason it wouldn't work.

No reason at all that it shouldn't work. The Netgear print server, like most printservers, is a Unix IP print server, so it should be as simple as setting up a printer using the IP of the router/print server. I have that same printer running off a US Robotics router/print server, and it's great! Note that inkjets HATE print servers. Inkjets like bidirectional data paths, which print servers don't provide, so they are slow, slow, SLOW!
