Konica C220 - recommend a print server?

[swt]

Hi,

we're due to take delivery of a C220 this week. I don't know if it will come with Bluetooth and may need to use a wireless print server - any recommendations or do they all do the same job?

Bluetooth doesn't come with it, though there is a bluetooth accessory that can be added. It's really designed for printing from a mobile device as the pin changes everytime you use it. Not really good for using it to print from computers. You can use what's called a wireless bridge, I have used a LinkSys WET54G which is reliable enough, but it's a little complicated to set up. I highly recommend using a wired ethernet connection if possible. Wireless printing will be half as fast as wired 10/100 and the wired connection is more reliable. Cost for a drop generally is less as well.

Hi and thanks very much for the reply.

We're still awaiting delivery but will probably try to move things around so the printer is wired to a wireless router through which clients can reach it.

We use Silex print server with KonicaMinolta machines for Usb printing
