-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Simply because I wanted something unobtrusive, and a non computer solution. I basically didn't want to tie up the space, power, equipment. This was a relatively inexpensive solution. Sure, I could have tunred any old Pentium into a print server but you gotta admire the folks at Linksys (D-Link, HP, Lexmark, Epson,...) for making small footprint devices like this.
I believe, and correct me if I am wrong that the LinkSys PrintServer uses Linux anyway. It was the best solution for me. Plus it has a built in switch and I need to expand my network a bit so it killed two birds with one stone. I like that.
