Microsoft is dropping support for NetBEUI and it not included with Win XP.
(Although I think it can be aquired).

I agree with some others here, probably not needed.

So, what is the difference between a wired and wireless print server? I have
an EFSP42 switch/printserver. i think it is communicating via TCPIP. Try
setting a static IP in your printserver. (192.168.1.1XX)
