i need a couple of these for a job, HP jet directs are great but expensive. can anyone recommend an inexpensive ethernet print server that plays nice with linux? speaking of which, do any such devices support usb printers (not that i need it now, just curious)? thanks,
We have a Netgear PS110 print server. This model has 2 parallel ports, no USB.
We print from Linux, Windows and OSX via a print queue on a RedHat box.
In contrast to some other posters, we have been using it for three years with few problems. We've rebooted occasionally during that time (maybe 4-5 times) but usually in conjunction with rebooting the Linux box running the print queue. We were never sure which one was the problem, so we would do both.
