HERE'S THE SET-UP IN MY HOUSE:
Location 1: Verizon DSL phone line -> Westell Modem -> Linksys Wireless-B Router.
Location 2: Dell Computer -> Wireless Adapter.
Location 3: IBM Thinkpad. (Note: I do NOT want to connect Thinkpad to internet.)
HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH: I want to purchase a new printer. I am looking at the Samsung ML-2250. It has a USB 2.0 and a parallel port. I want to connect the Printer to the Thinkpad (via parallel port/hardwired) and to the Dell (via USB port/wireless). I was told that this could be accomplished with a Print Server connected to the Printer's USB port. I purchased a Linksys Wireless-G Print Server for this purpose.
SO THE NEW SET-UP WOULD BE:
Location 1: The Same... DSL line-> Modem -> Wireless-B Router.
Location 2: The Same... Dell Computer -> Wireless Adapter.
Location 3: IBM ThinkPad -> Parallel Port hardwired -> Samsung ML-2250 Printer -> USB 2.0 hardwired -> Linksys Wireless-G Print Server.
HERE'S MY SIMPLE BUT RATHER CLUELESS QUESTION:
With this new set-up, will I be able to print from both locations 2 (wireless) & 3 (hardwired) to the Samsung printer? It doesn't matter so much if the print jobs can't be done simultaneously just so long as the Dell and Thinkpad can both print.
Thanks for any advice.

, so... I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.
