Heres my setup:

5 computers, 2 SLIMP3 music boxes, and one AEBS hooked into my Linksys 8 port router. Now I'm considering adding the Minolta 2350 Color Laser Printer. But I'm out of ports on my 8 port router. I'm no networking guru (fortunately everything has been virtually plug and play). The Minolta has a USB connection (along with it's ethernet connection). My question is this: Could I plug the Minolta USB cable into the USB port of the AEBS and print to it via all my computers on the wired /wireless ethernet network?

Thanks,

lw

You should be able to; I'm printing to my computer via the AEBS from both a wired computer and a wireless. It's quite convenient. I have two wired computers and a PB hooked up to the Internet via a router and the AEBS. Printing is great.

How are you printing now? (I mean -- how is it connected? Is it not a USB printer?)

Each computer has their own printer now. Thanks for help.
