I have a Canon S9000 and have recently purchased a D-Link wireless print server. The setup seems to work OK, except for one glaring problem: The printer is not able to communicate with the print server, meaning the Status Monitor will not work and I never know I'm running out of ink until the damage is done. Tech support from D-Link, and everything I've seen about this model seems to indicate this is not a fixable problem.
My question to all of you is this: Is there a wireless print server that will offer 100% compatibility with my S9000? :dunno I really need the wireless access, but I also need to be able to monitor my printer.

Is your wireless print server USB or printer port? Only USB transfers the printer control bits. I am have direct experience with this over a printer port print server: it does not work. Not sure about whether it would work or not over USB one. Be sure you turn off all software firewalls on your PC to make sure they are not blocking incoming requests.
Here is what I did (but may not suit your application): the printer was near one PC, but not two others (which is why I did network printing). I plugged the printer into the nearby PC(USB), from which I monitored status and ink levels, and then used the printer port print server for the other PCs. This worked fine.
