wireless print server & storage

I'm wondering if such a thing exists because it seems like such a good product and it's just what i'm looking for right now. Basically a USB wifi print server with a hard drive built in, or another USB for USB hard drives for wifi file sharing. I dont want to buy the two things seperate, you would think that somebody would make something like this already. The Buffalo LinkStation and some other buffalo products do this but not wireless.

Yes, thanks for the replies, they are all more expensive than i thought. Wireless USB print servers are quite cheap, I thought one might have the option of plugging in a USB hard drive instead of another USB printer, but never mind.

I'd rather not have to leave a machine on full time. Would a wireless print server & switch like the Netgear WGPS606 and then adding non wireless network attached storage like the Netgear SC101 to one of the ethernet switches on the wireless print server work?

Thanks for the help.

Something like the Maxtor or WD NAS drives also allow printers to be attached to the USB ports. It won't be a wireless solution unless you connect the NAS to a wireless switch.

something like that looks like a good option. thanks for the help.
