Cable/ADSL routers with print spooler

[wizard at neonedge.com (Wizard)]

I'm not sure where I saw it, but someone has a very compact print server
that just plugs into an Ethernet port on the network (sort of a dongle). The
only other routers that I am sure of that have a built-in spoolers are
siemens and SMC (you didn't say wireless, so I am assuming hardwired).

SMC - http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-7052-404-2319870.html
Siemens - http://www.bestbuy.com/Detail.asp?m=488&cat=540&scat=&e=11096540
This isn't the one I saw, but here's a print server from Netgear:

I was happy with my netgear, but they are apparently incapable of handling
30,000 volts at the ports, which is why I am not using mine anymore ;-).
