[Gllug] wireless print server

[Jack Bertram]

Hi all

[hardware - slightly OT]

I'm looking for the following thing.  I don't know if it exists - anyone
got any suggestions/recommendations?

* wireless print server
* 802.11g (pref) or 802.11b (ok)
* acts as wireless access point (not necessarily as router/firewall)
* printer plugs straight into it via parallel port
* printer available to windows boxes (via normal printer sharing in
  windows, no special software) and to linux boxes (via lpd/cups)

Basically, I have a room, with a printer.  People come into this room
with laptops and I want to find the cheapest way of allowing all of them
to print to the printer without having to physically move over and plug
into it.  There's no existing network or wireless network available, and
these people come in on an ad-hoc basis and know about installing
normal printers but not about special software.

Any ideas?
