I think the logic goes that businesses want networked printers for the office while home users don't need it.

However I have noticed mention of some printers being able to link to one of the ethernet ports on the router. Is that a good idea, or am I not understanding what I read?Some do have Ethernet ports, however they tend to be aimed at the business market with a price tag to match. Your first thought of the WiFi enabled printer is probably the best one :)Regards NeilWhich is bizarre as the hardware for Ethernet is cheaper than that for Wi-Fi and it's less software required to drive it.My wifes HP PhotoSmart multifunction printer/scanner/copier/card reader cost about £89 and came with Ethernet and USB ports - it's now 3-4 years old.Gordon
