The Linksys Wireless-G Print Server 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 Print Server 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 Print Server 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 Print Server 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 Print Server 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 Print Server with Multifunction Printer Support bring efficiency to all your home office tasks.*Manufacturer: Linksys *Manufacturer Part Number: WPSM54G *Manufacturer Website Address: www.linksys.com *Product Name: WPSM54G Wireless-G USB Print Server *Product Type: Wireless Print Server *Wireless Technology: Wi-Fi - IEEE 802.11b/g *Frequency Band/Bandwidth: 2.4 GHz ISM Band *Transmissio *n Speed: 54Mbps *Transmission Speed Details: 54Mbps Auto-fallback IEEE 802.11g, 6Mbps IEEE 802.11g, 11Mbps Auto-fallback IEEE 802.11b, 1Mbps IEEE 802.11b *Interfaces/Ports: 1 x USB *Dimensions: 2.52" Height x 7.72" Width x 11.26" Depth, 2.52" Height x 7.72" Width x 11.26" Depth

Great idea, but...

"I bought this device based on Linksys' reputation - being a part of Cisco, you would think they could do networking right -- and actually, configuring the basic networking piece of this device was easy - logon, enter a WEP passphrase (nice touch, rather than having to deal with WEP keys), and viola! I'm seeing the print server on the network - with my printer correctly identified and ready to go!Then came the ti..." Read Full Review »
