I am running a PB G4 and will soon add a 24" iMac to that. now the office is expanding.

How can I set up wireless printing. I use both a cable and wifi to connect to broadbacnd as we have a wireless system too.

Running an Epson D88 printer in the office.

Do I need a wireless print server? Or is there another way to do this?

Can it easilybe combined with networking the Macs as well?

You can hook the printer up to one of your Macs and turn on print sharing. Any OS X machine on the same network should be able to see and print to such a printer via Bonjour.

Another option is to buy one of those Ethernet/USB little print server boxes. Usually cost around $50.

Hook up a network-ready printer to your wireless router. Preferably something that allows duplex printing, like this one (which was $30 less just a few weeks ago)

You don't want to use an inkjet because the cost of the cartridges will eat you alive. Get something more rugged that uses toner (cheaper per page) and use color only sparingly. Brother has a bunch of multi-purpose printers/copiers/scanners that will duplex.
