[G4] Wireless network question

[B G]

I have not tried it personally but the

Belkin DP-G301  >  Wireless G Print Server

"The DP-G301 supports all the major networking protocols such as TCP/ 
IP, NetBEUI, AppleTalk, and EtherTalk. It is compatible with  
computers running Windows® XP/2000 and Mac OS® X v10.4.3 operating  
systems."

is supposed to work.

Anybody actually used it??
