Some scanner/printer/copiers will totally work with wireless systems. My wife bought a HP Photosmart C5180 that works well for her. It's currently installed directly (LAN, aka Ethernet cable) to the router beside my ancient ME desktop that I'm using, but would also accept a wireless network adapter, I believe.
I haven't tried to use it since my wireless laptop died, shortly after my sodden brother went to a very naughty poisonous site with it. Could'a slapped him.
I use a direct USB connected scanner/printer/copier on her desktop which was what she was trying to discourage, considering my careless lineage. Then I transfer the scanned file via LAN, or now a little 1GB USB micro-drive. It's the way I learned to originally do it. I'm too lazy to re-learn unless I must. I think I have her convinced that the HP C5180 software won't work with Win ME.
