[TriLUG] wireless print server

Hey all.  Has anyone ever installed and used a Linksys WPS11 wireless print
server in a Mac/Linux environ?  I would like to start printing with my iBook
via Rendezvous, but currently my LaserJet 1200 is configured as a slave (via
USB) to my Win2k server which I hope to retire any day now (and the printer
does not have an ethernet port - just USB and parallel).

To make a(n already) long story short I'd like to connect the Linksys WPS11
to the LaserJet 1200 and print to the printer via my RH 7.3 machines, my
iBook, and my wife's Win2k laptop.  I'm just wondering if anyone has done
this already and if it worked.

If the above scenario is known not to work, has anyone printed to a LaserJet
via a HP external print server using RH Linux and Mac's Jaguar?

Con mucho gusta,

Greg
