Product Overview
This pocket-sized print server makes it easy to share a USB printer with users on your network. It's the ideal solution for home or small office networks. Enjoy economical network printing for multiple users. This USB to 10/100Mbps print server allows sharing a USB printer among multiple users connected to your network, instead of having to purchase multiple printers for each individual workstation.
Web-based management allows you to configure and control the print server through a browser, which in turn allows you to place your printer in the most convenient location for sharing, without needing to place it next to your computer. You can send print jobs to another user in your home or office, or to a printer located in another country.
Compact and lightweight, the print server is easy to install, thanks to simple installation wizards and web-based management. You only need to use a USB cable to connect the print server to your printer's USB port and then an RJ-45 network cable to connect to the rest of your network. It is also compatible with the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol, which allows printing over the Internet. It is also compatible with Bonjour Print Services, which facilitates the discovery and configuration of printers on your network.
