I've got a Buffalo Wireless Router (love it - thanks Scott) and an old but reliable Laserjet 1200 hooked up to a old 10/100 JetDirect card.
I'd like to move the Laserjet and print to it wirelessly, but I need to wirelessly bridge that Jetdirect card.
Any suggestions on the cheapest wireless router or solution that I need?
I run 802.11G and also WPA2 for encryption.

I have a couple of Airlink 101 bridges (sold at Frys) -- they normally go on sale every few weeks for about $20. They run a bit hot, but they work.

I'm not super familiar with Fry's. They are in Chicago though.
Is this AP/bridge usually advertised online by precise model name?

It's usually in the newspaper ads -- I've seen Frys ads in the Chicago Tribune, I assume they are the same ads we get here in the Bay area.
The unit I have generally shows up as an Access point, it seems to alternate with the router as being on sale.
