If you've got the wires already run, that's a better route. Otherwise, wireless ain't bad. Yes, each printer is assigned it's own ip address. You will probably have to do that via software or a control panel on the printer.

I suppose that's pretty much the newest model of what you've got.

So you plug an Ethernet cable into one side and a regular USB or parallel printer into the other, and then your workstations just print to the IP address? And if you've got more than one printer, they each get their own IP address?
