From what I have seen, you can usualy buy one of the Cable/DSL firewall/router/switch boxes with a print server for about the same price. You are still limmited in what printers you can use with them. What I am hoping to see, with the way home networks are growing, are some network printers priced for home use. But for now, I like using one of the older Laserjet printers with a network card added, at least for anything that can be printed on a non-color laser printer.
