I don't think that there are *that* many network printers on the
Internet, and I think the number of such is not increasing -- most
people seem to be buying USB printers, it seems.
They definitely are increasing. I work for HP building all in ones- the new
high end all in ones have built in ethernet and 802.11. This is going to be
an increasing trend, I'm sure.
