[P1] Wireless printing from 1 base station

[Tom.Legare at comcast.net]

Problem Resolved, and the suggestion below worked well and agreed with 
what the Apple consultant had to say today at the Apple Store.  I ended 
up getting a 4 port NETGEAR router with built in firewall, and 
everything worked perfectly.  I should probably go through the trouble 
to actually configure the router, but I just plugged everything in out 
of the box and it worked perfectly the first time.  I am now wireless 
printing again while enjoying high speed internet.

Thanks to all,

Tom
