I am setting up a small network in my home (2 PC's and a printer). I have a NetGear MR814 router, and want to be able to network the printer through it. According to the manufacturer the router does not have a built in printer server, but supposedly there is a way to configure the system so it can work. Can anyone help me with what I need to do to make this happen (if it truly is possible). Thanks.

What they might be talking about is hooking up the printer to one of your PCs and then using the operating system to share the printer.
Then go to the other PC and use the OS to install a network printer.
They do make print server boxes that will let you put your printer on the network but I always like to try the FREE stuff first.
