It is currently set using the Ethernet. It connects to my wireless DSL
modem/router. The printer is connected to iMac and shared with our
wireless laptops. My iMac is over 7 years old, so I was thinking when I
replace it that I would make it my wireless print server. I was
wondering if I could just make it wireless or if I am going to need to
keep it connected to the wireless router via the Ethernet. I hope this
makes sense.

Stephen,
What model/brand of wireless router will you be connecting to?
I'll suggest another option: A wireless bridge which goes from 802.11 to
10/100 base-T. It will give you ethernet into the iMac's existing RJ-45
ethernet jack.
Along similar lines, there are wireless routers in the $40.00 range which
support bridging. You configure it to recognize the existing wireless network
and you can plug into the RJ 45 LAN jacks. You get the wifi range of the router
and the ability to connect multiple ethernet devices. The USB-802.11 wifi
adapters I've tried are short on the antenna power and are more limited in
range.

Subject: wireless question
I have an iMac G4 (iLamp) running OS 10.4.11. I
would like to make it
wireless. It takes the old airport card (I
could get that off ebay).
Should I use that or should I get a USB wireless adapter
(this iMac only
has USB 1.1)?
Thanks
Steve
