Product Description
Wireless-G PrintServer with Multifunction Printer Support – Share your multifunction printer without running wires!
The Linksys Wireless-G PrintServer 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 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.
The PrintServer 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 PrintServer 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 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.
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

If you have used Linksys print servers before you will know that most printer utilites do not run.
If Linksys can get EPSON to plug in the complete MULTI FUNCTION printer UTILITY the WPSM54G will be one of the best print servers you can sweat for.
I am on a budget and Home Office Hardware can get expensive. COME ON EPSON–PLUG THE WHOLE PRINT/SCAN/FAX UTILITY INTO LINKSYS!

I am a Linux user, and I expected more of this print server. I can use it with Linux but it isn’t easy to install nor to configure. And I needed windows to use the provided CD to get the Web GUI running…
Otherwise it does what it is supposed to.
I am not able to scan from Linux, yet.

I was on the phone with Linksys for 4 hours to set this thing up with my Brand New laptop that just so happens to be on their website to be capatible with Vista. Nope, right out of the rep’s mouth and me spending 4 hours wasting my time and effort. Annoyed.

… because this device will not work with Apple computers. If there was an option to rate it 0 stars I would have.
