My roommate wants an iPad in the worst way so he'll probably get one next year, and since I'm the household network administrator*, I have a question or two for the iPad owners. When connected to your wifi, does it show up as a network device (like the kindle, my print server, etc) or does it show up as a computer? And the printing ability - does it only connect to post-script network printers? (This is the case for non-Intel Macs with OSX, at least the one living in my house, so I'm curious about iOS-based devices.)

*a fancy title indicating that I'm supposed to "just make it work".

Thanks,
CW
