Check out this router:
One powerful device, NETGEAR’s FWG114P ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Firewall with USB Print Server consolidates multiple connection features and gives users the ability to share secure wired and wireless network connections. Designed to connect multiple PCs without running additional wires, it allows up to 253 users on the LAN – including up to 64 wireless users – to share one broadband Internet connection. Higher wireless speeds allow for distribution of large files and enables high performance videoconferencing. The built-in print server enables multiple users to utilize a single printer. Full-scale business-class security that includes Wi-Fi Protected Access enhancements* and Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall ensures that the network, network users, and data communications are thoroughly protected. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.11g and backward compatible to any existing IEEE 802.11b network equipment. Web browser-based settings and on-screen help make setup a breeze. Fail safe features provide back-up connection to the Internet. Wall-mountable to save space.
Ultra Equipped
Built in to this firewall router is a 4-port 10/100 switch, an IEEE 802.11g wireless 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps access point, and an easy connection USB print server port that supports multiple print jobs simultaneously. An RS-232 serial port provides for either an ISDN/analog modem fail-over backup or dial-up connections, and a100 Mbps WAN port allows for future high-speed broadband services. Seventeen LEDs display status at a glance. Supports single remote access server (RAS) client via the serial port.
Safeguarded
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) shields wireless communications with the highest available level of industry-standard encryption, blocking unwanted users from accessing the network without the proper permission and password. True firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Network Address Translation (NAT) and Intrusion Control capabilities provides defense against Denial of Service (DoS) hacker attacks, while 40/64 and 128 -bit WEP encryption protects the network from wireless eavesdroppers. Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through enables secure access to your office or corporate network. Web page URL content filtering provides administrative control over access to inappropriate web sites. Provides logging and reporting alerts of Internet activity.

Kind of interested to see how the print hub works. Do you plug the printers into that router directly or is there some other way it works?

Reading that other thread I thought you would want your print server seperate from your router. So I am not sure how good it is in the same device.

I think with a wireless router you could have the router, modem and printers in one area and then have your pcs wirelessly connected in another area.
So I could see it making sense.
