I've got an old HP6122 printer, it must now be about 6 years old but still going strong.

My question is what would be the best option to make the printer wireless to allow my other half's laptop to print to it?

The printer has no ethernet port, only has USB/Parallel. So my first thought was a USB wireless adapter, but then I started to think about a USB print server to plug into my adsl router.

Anyone tried to do this before? I can't recall if I have seen ADSL modem/routers which had a USB port on the back suitable for a printer which might also be another option.

Thanks for reading :)
 
Routers are available with print servers, however they're not usually compatible with all printers, a 6122 should be OK tho. Wired USB or Parallel printer server should be available from around £20, wireless will cost more and it might work out cheaper to buy a new printer with onboard wireless.
