As an aside, even in a shared windows environment, hjp print servers make
sharing printer a breeze.  The printer can be located anywhere one can connect a
cable to the network.  Or one can use on of the new wireless print servers and
locate the printer anywhere within range of an access point.

Let's not get into the security issues of wireless right now!!!!
