[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 759792, member: 24098"] With the requirement of a wireless printer, you could do one of two things. 1. Buy an inexpensive wireless router from one of the mainstream vendors (Linksys, D-Link or Netgear). Buy a wireless network adapter for the eMac (I don't believe they have one built in). Buy a printer with built-in wireless printing. 2. Buy an Apple Airport Extreme. This has a built in print server that will work well with your Macs (aftermarket wireless adapters for printers are very hit or miss with the Mac) and connect your existing printer to it. Buy a wireless adapter for your eMac. The upfront cost for the Airport Extreme is a little higher, but it will pay off in that you won't have to buy a new printer - it's also really easy to use and setup on a Mac. [/QUOTE]
