Does anyone have any experience with printers that can be connected to a router via ethernet cable and shared throughout the network? I want to geta printer that I can connect to my Linksys router and share it over the network and have it work with my PowerBook. I currently have an HP PSC1350 and I cannot get it to work through the Linksys wireless print server that I have and I have tried many things and I am looking at getting a printer with a network port and be able to print to it from my PowerBook that is connected to my Linksys wireless router. Any suggestions/comments?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am looking for an all in one printer(print/copy/scan).

i have a HP 2610 all in one and IT ROCKS!
It works with both my PC and mac flawlessly.

I know what you mean about the print server. I bought one for my old printer and it was very hard to set up.

The HP has built in ethernet and setup was automatic(yeaah :))

i higly reccomend this printer to anyone!

Plus i found out i could use it as a network storage unit also because it has built in media card readers.(i currently am using a memory stick to store pics so i dont need a PC for that job )

Well I looked at the HP 2610 and I decided to go with that and found it brand new on Ebay for US$175 which was about $100 off the price of it in stores. I cant wait to get it because I am sick of unplugging everything that is connected to my PB and moving it over to my printer everytime I want to print.
