It would indeed, if it actually supported WPA. But it doesn't, despite
the specs saying that it does.

See "http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/showthread.php?t=6694"

I have been looking for the same type of print server. As someone else
pointed out, the DI-824VUP+ would work, but it's more than just a print
server.

The only one I was able to find, that really supports WPA, was one from
ActionTec,

It cost $129, more than the All-In-One product from D-Link.

The less expensive way to go is probably an Ethernet to Parallel Port
adapter, connected to a wireless access point.
