Could a wireless print server work with an older printer?

[Eric Shubert]

I have a jetdirect adapter box I'll sell you cheap. I think I may have 
the adapter that fits directly in the printer too. Either way will give 
you an ethernet connection to the printer, which could then be attached 
to a ethernet switch or wireless router. Email me directly if you're 
interested.
