Thanks, Because computers are in a room, the printers in another, and
if the computers are behind a router, they do not have public ip
address and it make remote log in difficult...

Then just add them to your local network.......I have a machine in one
room
and the printer in another, but I don't need to print over the
"internet"....

You could pass a cable between the two rooms.

Even better, use wireless.....that's what I have. Printer hardwired via a
pocket Print server (just sits on the parallel port on the printer) to a
switch, to which is connected a WAP. The machine in the other room was
Wireless.....

Wireless network is fine but I still think that using this for
printing is not reliable.  Printing is a "heavy" workload for the
network and no wireless connection can really be as fast as a cable
between the printer and networks.

The speed isn't the problem.  The half duplex nature of WiFi, and having the
WiFi router having to constantly choose between receiving from the source, and
sending to the target, in half duplex mode, is a big problem.  Linksys at one
time had a nice white paper explaining this very concisely.

I am not worried for the WiFi speed but on the reliability of the
wireless connections. I have yet to see a wireless network that does
not loose connection periodically during a "session." It may just be
a small "break" and the wireless network is re-established. During
this "reset" the print job can loose data.
