The days when printers with network connectivity were intended just for the corporate world are quickly coming to a close as more and more manufacturers not only add an Ethernet port to their offerings, but are placing Wi-Fi chips in units as well. Among the rash of new laser printers it's announced this week, Lexmark is introducing the first that support the Draft N spec.
The rest of the new Lexmark consumer and small-biz lasers come with Ethernet ports, but cop out on wireless by making it an option—in the form of a $149 802.11g print server add-on. If you're buying a $300 printer, you're probably not dropping half the price on an accessory, especially when Brother has three with 802.11g included for under $500.
