This printer has only a parallel port (Centronics) and I
need one with a USB port to allow attachment to a wireless
network print server in a recreational vehicle. My usage is
50 pages a month, way below the 4-or-5 thousand pages per
month specified in even the low-priced HP laser printers.

What printer do you recommend that has approximately the
same functionality and speed as the 1100, a USB2 port and a
reasonably priced replacement toner cartridge that is widely
available at retail outlets (i.e., Best Buy)? Reliability
and ease-of-servicing are paramount.

Which printers does your printer server support? How _well_ does it support
them? Is that an issue?

The print server will most likely be a Linksys WPS54GU2
Wireless-G PrintServer for USB 2.0, not yet purchased. I've
seen no information anywhere that specifies supported
printers. Do you know where to find such info?

How well the print server supports the printer is an issue,
the reason for doing research on both server and printer
before buying.
