Anyone have experience with wireless print servers, particularly in an enterprise environment? Any details regarding brand, model, authentication and encryption used would be helpful.

You can find a lot of Wireless Printer Server from manufactures of SOHO Wireless products. Though the Specifications seem to be impressive, I doubt their operability and the ability to talk to the Printers. Some of them don't talk to GDI or PCL 5 or PCL 5e based printers. Many of them won't work with a multifunction printer either.

In such case, a Wireless Ethernet Adapter seems too impressive; just plug the Wireless Adapter to the Ethernet port of the Printer (I am sure, many of the printers comes with a RJ45 Connectors). These Wireless Adapters are Driverless, and operate on firmware. Some of them have HTTP based management console for easier management.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else have any thoughts?

We use Cisco 350 series WorkGroup Bridges and use a cross over cable to connect to HP Jet Direct devices. I believe the 350 series WGB's are end of life though.
