Wireless Print Server

Ever wanted a good wireless print server? What about a media server?

How about you kill two birds with one stone with this cool gadget:The wireless Squeezebox from SlimDevices acts as a wireless bridge. You could easily attach a networked printer to this little gadget, get your streaming music from the Internet and kill two birds with one stone.

It uses wireless for it's primary interface, and provides a network jack for you to connect your printer, media server or what have you.

I love mine. I have my MythTV media server attached to it, and it uses a wireless link to connect to my modem / router. I run the Slimserver software on the MythTV box and it provides my MP3 collection and streaming stations to the Squeezebox. This keeps me from running CAT-5 all the way to the TV. It would work great for a networked printer as well to turn it wireless.
