Question Mutoh 1304 wireless printing

[Jthompson Designs]

Ok so here is my question, I am thinking of wireless printing sort of, I have a 1200mbs wifi extender that has output Ethernet ports that will allow me to run an ethernet cable run right to my Mutoh, will I run into any issues or will I need a print server? Is that possible? If I could get a direct Ethernet cable to the printer, I would. Right now the printer is right next to the main PC we print from, and it needs to be move, which is why I am asking. Thanks for any suggestions.

That machine only supports 100mbs so you have more than enough speed. The only thing I would worry about it corruption. If even a little bit of corruption or packet loss occurs it could mess up the entire print especially on longer prints. Doesn't hurt to try though.

Is there a better way?

I'm sure there is but I am not aware of it. A lot of people will have a separate RIP computer right by the printer and just send the file via a shared folder. The only thing is that you have to be in the room to send the job.
