I recently got wireless hooked up in my house, and was now wondering how I can print from my wireless laptop to a printer in the other room.

IM using some bt home hub as the router, which has some usb connections in it if they can be used? but all the wired ethernet connections are being used up.

o and the printers an epson cx3200 i think

thanks a lot

either
1.usb to the printer
2.Wireless print server box (bout 40quid)
3. A switch, run an ethernet cable from the router to a switch with 4/8ports etc then plug in printer using a spare port on the switch

It would have to be a usb print server on the hub, which it probably isn't.
