Someone told me he was scared to run NetBEUI on his wireless network because he said it is unsecure. This confused me becuse NetBEUI is not routable. The reason he wants it is because a wireless printer does not show up unless he runs it. My question is true? This is a network that this will be running WAP along with only MAC address access. Is this really a problem? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Get a new printer? NetBEUI isn't really supported anymore.

Yes, Check out the doumentation. Which printer is it? Does it have an internal print server. Set the Ip address and gateway, give it a name and it should work.
