Default Where to find combo router/print server?

Merry Christmas to all! I am looking to find a wireless router (802.11b or g... doesn't matter which..) with built-in printer server functionality. I have the d-link DI-713P, but it is no longer available. Are there any other makes/models out there? My brother-in-law is looking to purchase one, and the sales dudes at FS and Staples look at him like he is from the moon when he asks for a router/server combo.

Thank you and have a great Holiday!

SMC and re-branded SMC-> 3Com had these for a while. Although HP 6L lasers known to be incompatible.

Check <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=150 target=_blank>tigerdirect</a> or big on-line retailers for model info and then try to hunt for the best price locally.

My SMC 7004 ABR (non-Wireless) Router has Router+Server combo
My SMC 7004 VWBR (802.11b) only has Router

Don't know a wireless router that has printer combo
What I do is use my ABR as router, and VWBR as Access Point (to provide wireless only), so that I have Router + Printer Server + Wireless

Thanks for the link Yatko. I never even thought of <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=150 target=_blank>TigerDirect</a>. They have the Dlink DI-714P+, which is one model up from mine. I will pass the info to my brother-in-law.
