Network drive + Windows and Mac

If I were to buy a wireless network drive, I would be able to backup files from all my Windows based computers plus my macbook with time machine, right?

Also, it could serve as a print server, right?

that is correct as long as the network drive is formated FAT32. if you format it NFTS then the mac wont be able to write to it.

Alright, good. I thought it would depend on the format.
