The Linksys EtherFast 10/100 3-Port PrintServer is the easiest way to add one, two, or even three printers to your 10BaseT or Fast Ethernet network fast! Whether you?re building a Fast Ethernet network now or later, the PrintServer adjusts itself to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds automatically.
A stand-alone solution that doesn?t require a dedicated print server PC, the PrintServer houses three high speed parallel ports that can handle incoming print jobs concurrently -- put printers on your network where you need them most without having to worry about printing bottlenecks. Equipped with a Direct Memory Access (DMA) technology, a 128KB buffer, and automatic collision control, the PrintServer can handle print jobs up to 50% faster than regular print servers -- even on jobs with complex graphics and layout!
Fully compatible with regular laser, bubble jet, ink jet, and dot matrix printers, the PrintServer also supports the latest bi-directional printers from HP, IBM, and other manufacturers that let you keep track of a print job?s status from anywhere on the network. Ready to run right out of the box with multi-protocol support for 32-bit network operating systems, the PrintServer comes with an easy-to-use software management suite that integrates seamlessly with Windows 95, 98, Windows NT, and Novell NetWare -- use your applications and printer utilities in the same way you always have while giving your entire network flexible access to your printers!
Note: To perform a full range of functions, most multi-function devices, also referred to as 'all-in-one devices', require a direct connection to your computer?s Printer Port. Some multi-function devices may work on a printserver, however, due to industry standards, they will perform printer functions only.
