Did anyone suceeded into SCANNING via network using a wireless print server? Lemme recap that in details: you must've been able to have a computer plugged to a wireless router (using RJ45 cable or wireless internet card, doesn't matter as long as you're plugged into the router), the router recieving a connection or stream from a WIRELESS print server, of course laser printer plugged into the wireless print server and finally, you send a scan to the printer and the printer returns the scan to the computer. http://fool.exler.ru/sm/lam.gif

I know it's possible to print using that setup (I'm doing it frequently), that's no problem. But I'm unsure about the wireless process of a wireless print server sending back a scanned image to the router... and then the router to the computer that requested... I'm interested mostly into Dell's 1600n and HP's 3030 to do my scanning and printing. I called both Dell and HP's support and even going through the question with HP saying I'd buy that expensive HP 380x print server, both companies said they are unsure about the result of recieving the scan... http://fool.exler.ru/sm/nzd.gif
