Brother HL-2280DW wireless AIO Laser Printer $100@Newegg

So the printer will remain plugged to this N-capable router? Then what's the point of paying extra for wireless capability of the printer? Can't you do the same with a cheaper non-wireless printer? And as I mentioned, at least ASUS routers do not support USB-based connection to Brother printers (don't know if other makes do).

That is exactly what I am suggesting: Take any decent laser printer and do this with it.

And that's exactly what I wanted to do with my ASUS RT-N13U router and Brother HL-1040 printer... before I learned that ASUS does not communicate with Brother (it does support HP, Canon, and Epson, I think). So if you go this route, make sure your router can talk to your printer.

9 years and you still can't tell when I'm kidding . . .

WOW! Has it really been 9 years? You'll be surprized, I test drove an Legacy Outback and like it! I can have it with everything I want and 6 spd stick! Hoping Honda will wake up and bring the stick back...

Did you flash the firmware with DDWRT? It's USB2 according to this page and should be supported:

Once you've got the new OS on it, it should be able to communicate with the Brother no problem.

You could also get a wireless N print server. Or even better, this printer has an eithernet port, just connect to via eithernet and then the rest of your network remains in N-mode.

Using this printer. Also have the 2140 which is now in the kids room. This printer if finicky. The tape trick doesn't work, but you can get the reset flag gear on Amazon for $4 that will get you another few months out of the starter cartridge. After that, toner is $14 - $18 if you can find it on sale at Amazon, Meritline, and Supermediastore. E bay always has a 2 for $28 deal for the TN450. Set up a deal alert for TN450 on SD. Sometimes Supermedia store will have them for $9.99. I've also had to reinstall the software numerous times due to glitches. It's easiest to install the software from Brother's website on each pc/laptop. It always seems to work doing it that way. The scanner works great, and print quality is fine. Haven't used the duplex yet. It will suck out some serious power from your fuse box, so make sure your flat screen tv isn't on the same breaker. Otherwise, use a UPS or power conditioner. The cheap power supplies they put in flat screens today aren't made as well as they used to be (Samsung).

ARGH just bought this printer 2 days ago for $130 from walmart.

So upset... needed this for my brothers' new business. They need a printer and I was too busy @ work yesterday to yank it for them.

Congrats to those that got in on it! =/
