Try a wireless bridge.

What exactly is a wireless bridge?

The 240W still needs to be connected to its server that has the IF board in it. The server can be on a wireless network.

A wireless bridge connects to the RJ45 port of a network printer, allowing a wireless connection to a network with a wireless access point or router. A wireless bridge simply takes the place of the CAT5/5e cable ... no hardwire necessary. THis allows you to put your printer wherever you want (within range of an access point) without having to do any wiring. Since the connection is through the NIC, all network functions are available (as opposed to using a wireless print server which connects to the parallel or USB port of a device) ... how this relates to the wide format, I do not know as I am not familiar with this product. However ... wireless would be do-able one way or another whether Ricoh provides the option or not. (And under any circumstances, the wireless bridge would most likely be a much lower cost than putting in a Ricoh wireless NIC.)

Thanks for the help one and all. Upon seeing the clients current set up... v-tec got it. The 240 is connected via hardwire to its print server and the print server itself has a wireless connection to the main network server. piece of cake?

I like to kept it real and simple
