Share your printer without running wires!
Share a printer with
everyone on your
network—works with
most USB 1.1 or 2.0
printers
No need to
leave a PC on
all the time
Connects your printer directly
to the network by 10/100
wired Ethernet or 54Mbps
Wireless-G (802.11g)
Prevents congestion
on your PC with other
users' print jobs
The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer lets you connect a 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.
Connect the PrintServer directly to your network by 10/100
Ethernet cable, or wirelessly over 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g).
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.
The USB port is compatible with USB 1.1 printers, as well as
printers that support the new high-speed USB 2.0 specification
for even faster throughput. Your data is protected by up to
128-bit WEP encryption, or pre-shared-key WPA. A user-friendly
Setup Wizard makes installation easy, the compact case fits
anywhere, and the three megabyte print buffer size handles
even large graphics-intensive print jobs. Let the Linksys
Wireless-G PrintServer bring efficiency to your printing tasks.
