Wireless G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support

The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support lets you connect a multifunction USB printer directly to your network, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC to print sharing chores. Using a PrintServer frees up your "print share PC" so you don't have to leave it on all the time. It also removes the printing bottleneck, and sets your PC free to do more useful work. The PrintServer is compatible with most USB multifunction printers, and allows full access to printing, faxing, scanning, and copying functions. Like any print server, users on the network can print anytime. The other functions are treated a little differently - any user can request access to one of the other functions, and get exclusive use of that function until his task is complete. Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100 Ethernet cable, or wirelessly at up to 54Mbps via Wireless-G. The wireless option lets you put your printer wherever you want to, without having to run cables. Whichever way the PrintServer is attached to your network, both your wireless and wired PCs will have access to it, and the printer it's connected to. And if you don't use wireless for general networking in your office, you can still use the Wireless-G connection in ad-hoc mode to print from visiting Wireless-G and Wireless-B PCs. Your wireless data is protected by up to 128-bit WPA-PSK encryption. A user-friendly Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits anywhere, and the big print buffer handles even large graphics-intensive print jobs. Let the Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support bring efficiency to all your home office tasks.

Reviews & Ratings for Wireless G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support
While promising, I found it to be very unreliable, even when not using the wireless side of it.

After updating the firmware, it can be used without the client software (if you don't have a multifunction), but still does not consistently work.

Disappointing.

Reviews & Ratings for Wireless G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support
The install was a little involved and took some time. It wasn't tough jsut required software and driver installations that took some time. I isntalled both xp and vista machines. Worked fine in both. Overall I am satisfied. Would have given it higher stars if the install was simpler.

Pros: no need for a dedicated pc for a printer
Cons: set up can be tricky

Reviews & Ratings for Wireless G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support
The Wireless print server is a very useful product, because it allowed me to free up (i.e. turn it off at times) the PC that had been dedicated to controlling the printer.

Set up was a bit tricky in my case, because my router is not easily accessible. However, once configured, the product works very well and was worth the money.
