Print server question.
I am looking for a wi-fi print server that we can get to from hand
held devices but that will also handle print requests from a wired network. (W/98, XP and W/7)

(W/98, XP and W/7) There are a number of wireless routers with USB ports on tham into which you can plug a USB printer to operate it from your WiFi and network. Right now I have the printer connected to a PC (XP) on the wired network and I can get to it from an XP laptop via WiFi but not a W/7 laptop and my wife is having trouble getting to it from a mobile device but that may be an operator error. If I do get the WiFi adapter for the printer the path to the printer from my network devices will be "wired" to router to WiFi to printer?

Yes HL 5140 My wife has decided she needs blue tooth but I am going to see if I can figure out how to print from the WiFi with a Samsung tablet and phone. She only knows how to do it through MS Cloud and I am not sending data to Redmond WA just to get to a printer 15' away. I am not a "hand held" guy. None of my computers fit in a purse. I found a blue tooth adapter on Amazon but if I can get to this printer from my lap top through the WiFi router and my PC, she should be able to.
