A wireless print server is a device which will enable you to share your USB or Parallel port printer on a wireless or wired network.
The print server can be configured to connect to an existing wireless network and can then be connected to the printer via the USB or Parallel port, once this has been done the printer should be available for use on any computer on the network.

Printers work by sending data to the computer they're connected to. For example, wired printers send electrical impulses. Wireless printers send data using wifi.
