Everyone knows this printer is too good to be just sold off as a trade-in for another multi-function network ready printer, never mind even Canon MX700.
However since the printer does not have networking feature, one option is to spend almost the same amount of money (or may be a little more) to get a costly print server like Canon-Silex C-6700WG or C-6200U. I am sure there would be an alternative such that I can at least use fax and print from remote. Scan and copy is not needed for remote anyway.
Any bright ideas?

Have you thought about getting a USB server... Belkin do one now that's a lot cheaper than the early ones you could get from Keyspan.

Because they act like a USB hub you can use Canons without too much bother at all on them... That said I do like the 6700WG but then I got mine on special offer.. :)
