Hey guys i'm new here, but to make a long story short, I've been trying to find a way to connect my printer to my wireless network. I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router with 4 Ethernet ports on the rear of it. However my printer (HP Officejet All-in-One Model 600) only has a parallel port on the back of it. I can't find any sort of Parallel to Ethernet cable/adapter out there and this is the closest/best thing i could find to solve my problem ---------> http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=461 .... however i called up D-Link and spoke to some moron who didn't seem to enthused about explaining his product to me and he said that this would only work with the printing function on my printer and NOT the Fax, Copier, Scanner etc... but he had that "not to sure of WTF he was talking about sound in his voice" when he said that... more or less sounded like he just wanted to get off the phone with me... anyways, i've found this product on ebay and such for great prices... but do any of you know if what he said was true? will i or will i not be able to use the other functions on my printer with this device???? THANKS for any and all your help!!!
 
The Wireless print server is the way to go. The only thing I can think of which might not work is possibly the fax. Just make sure you install the software to a pc, and have it on when using the fax portion of the Printer...

(also make sure the Phone line is connected)
