Im looking for a good print server. Im moving my linux box to the
basement and ill need something upstairs to connect the printer to. It
should agree with both Linux and windows(samba).

Get a wireless access point that is supported by OpenWRT and has USB, such
as an Asus WL500g. Install openwrt and cups. For windows support, continue
to run Samba on your Linux box and configure the printer shares to spool to
cups on the openwrt.
