I'm not a fan of wireless either. Too much of a FM factor. (Freaking magic) <g>
The print server only gets one IP address, but it has multiple ports. I only have one printer hooked up to it (HP Officejet K80) but it would be addressed the same way. In my house, Windows prints to it via http://192.168.15.10/dlink-port1 and (if I had a printer hooked up to this port) http://192.168.15.10/dlink-port2. You can change the names of the port, so you could name one "Kirk" and the other "Picard" if you'd like. <g> From my Linux workstations (all MEPIS) it connects to them via lpd so they are addressed as lpd://192.168.15.10/dlink-port1. Linux plays much nicer, I must say, about getting the default settings to "stick". I've got all workstations set to print as draft, 300dpi by default. This makes my ink cartridges last much, much longer. Windows doesn't like to keep this setting so I've got to set it to "Draft Mode" every time I print. <f> There's got to be a way to do it but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.
