1) IOGear Powerline Networking kit, model #GHPB32.
Comes with 2 powerline ethernet adapters and 2 1.8m CAT 5 cables. I've lost the original packaging, manuals and CDs. So I will include a CDROM of the driver/manual I downloaded from IOGear web site. But you only need the software if you want to setup encryption. Otherwise it is plug and play. I'm looking for $55 shipped.

2) Linksys WAP54G Access Point. Comes in original box with install CD, cables, manuals. $45 shipped.

3) Linksys 7dBi high gain antenna (TNC connector). $20 shipped.

4) D-link DP-311P parallel port wireless print server. $30 shipped.

The powerline kit is rated at 14Mbps, but it will depend on the condition of the wiring and socket. In my case, I get around 5+Mbps, with latency around 4ms, which is very good. The key feature is the consistency in the bandwidth. I used it to connect my GoVideo D2740 to my server for MPEG2 video playing, and it's the consistency that beats the wireless alternatives. I'm guessing it helps for gaming too.

For the printer adapter, I don't know what you mean by "universal"? It's parallel port, not USB. I've used it with HP Laserjet 6L and Brother HL-5150D without problems.
