- The HP Wireless G Print Server is the one to get if you already have a wireless network and an HP printer. It comes with everything you need to set up the server (cable, directions, driver/software CD). The 'HP Wireless printing Upgrade kit' is really for those you do not have a wireless.
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners. Press and hold the Control key as you click in the list at the left, then choose “Reset printing system” from the menu that appears. After you reset the printing system, the list of printers in Printers & Scanners preferences is empty.
This little device is marketed as a wireless print server for HP printers with USB connection.
It has two USB connections on the back: one standard USB port to plug in the printer and one micro USB port to connect the device with a PC for configuration. For Windows and MacOS there are utility programs by HP to configure and use the printer. However, for Linux there is no support from HP, and the Windows setup utility also does not work under Windows 7.
The device is not a real print server, i.e. it does not provide the standard IPP printing or raw printing on port 9100, but is rather a USB port forwarder, which simply forwards the USB commands via TCP (ports 34447, 34448 and 34450) to the printer. On Windows, the driver creates a virtual USB port. For this reason, it does not work out of the box on Linux, but needs a dedicated driver (which is not available yet).
To configure the device on Linux, I wrote a Perl script, which displays the settings and allows to change the wireless connection settings of the print server. This is also what the Windows driver installation does (which does no longer work on Windows 7). This script might also work to configure the print server on Windows 7, but I have not tested it.
Requirements: Perl and the perl libusb interface (on ubuntu that's the 'libdevice-usb-perl' package).

To setup a wireless connection with a wireless access point, enter 1 and press return. It will then scan the network for available access points. You can select one of the detected access points or enter the name (ssid) of a hidden network. You will also be asked about the security settings of the wireless network (defaults are auto-detected if possible) and the address assignment (DHCP).
After that, the device configuration is finished, it will be reset and should automatically connect to the wireless network.
